Achievement Rides
The Achievement Ride series are being run again this year. As per normal, we're looking for people to help support the ride. So if you've been on a few of them previously, and especially if you've won a mug, please contact the Rides Coordinator and put something back into the club
The rides are open to anybody. There is a $10 charge for non members on the achievement rides. If you want to go on an achievement ride then please book it with organiser at least a week beforehand for the "Take Ones" and preferably about 2 weeks beforehand for the "Take twos". The "Take twos" are only run if enough people register two weeks beforehand.
See below for upcoming achievement ride dates.
