Who's looking at doing Around the Bay and wants to train with a group and even ride Around the Bay with a nice freindly group. We have a group at the moment who are training for Around the Bay and always keen to have anyone join us, we leave 7.30 every Saturday from Port Melbourne head out to Mt Eliza and back again and whats best is we ride as a group all the way training in slip streaming, spinning when we climb, riding as a tight bunch and all in the hope of making it more fun and alot…See More
Harry Tana replied to Heather's discussion Sick of riding solo on Beach Road?"Hi Heather, hope you don't mind if I join in with you're group tomorrow sounds like you have a lot of fun which is what cycling should be and certainly like the 9 o'clock start."
Glennys Jones replied to Harry Tana's discussion Experience from hell"A bit like the ATB, but this year with BNV making jersey compulsory, it's going to be much harder to keep a watch out for the "all the gear and no idea" riders as they camouflage back into the faceless crowd."
Chris Harris replied to Harry Tana's discussion Experience from hell"I can see the attraction in summer.. .all those babes in bikinis !
Aside from that, I'll stick to my off-road trails."
DJ replied to Harry Tana's discussion Experience from hell"I can't see the attraction with riding along Beach Road.It is vastly over rated.Traffic light every few minutes, crowded with inexperienced riders, almost dead flat and boring until Mornington.It's far too busy with other cyclists to be…"
John E. replied to Harry Tana's discussion Experience from hell"No surprise there, it has been too crowded for the last couple of years - lots of inexperienced riders with too much ego & too much arrogance. I prefer to ride alone so ride later - otherwise you just can't get away from either tagging onto…"

Enjoy heading out along Beach road and don't usually get out till 09.30, headed out with the Tenax group (great bunch of people) for the first time and leaving 07.30 at least 2 hours earlier than normal. Well some of the sites I saw out there were absolutely absurd and some of the worst riding I had ever seen.There were so many people and big groups mingling with other groups with a riding etiquette that I had never seen before, I was totally surprised about the aggressive nature in which…See More

Tenax Ride
Just want you all to know that this ride is alive and kicking!You can find the latest info on our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/groups/tenaxride/) or the website (www.tenaxride.com). An ‘Audax’ ride is a ride over extreme distance where everyone must finish within the set time frame. Audax is latin for brave (or bold). In contrast, Tenax is latin for holding fast (or staying steady), and so…See More

Hi Harry, drop me a message if you'd like to go for a ride on Sunday or another weekend. So far I've just been doing Beach Road (St Kilda to Frankston = flat) and Yarra Blvd (hills, closer to my house). I've also heard the Dandenong Ranges are good but I'm yet to venture out there.
I'm new to group riding as well so I joined the St Kilda cycle club (heard it was the most social/kind to newbies). A guy called Warren runs run skills sessions on Saturday mornings free for members ($20 for non-members). They meet in Cafe Racer at 8. I've been to 3 so far, but won't be able to make tomorrow unfortunately.
