So,..Let's eggs-ercise away that chocolate with our top April bike events,...28 in all,..


Michael O'Hagan's Full Moon Ride is creating quite a wave with 10 registered and 2 threatening to,...it's ON tomorrow April fools evening 6 pm from the Crit track in Nundah,..with a meal to enjoy it'll be well worth the trip,...Plenty of room for more,... Please Consider.

John Steven's Public Holiday East Side Ride is on again on Good Friday 3th leaving Minnippi Wetlands skate track carpark at 7 am,...heading over to Wellington Point, then to Wynnum for coffee then back,....so plenty of coastal tracks in there to enjoy,... Please Consider.

On Easter Sunday morn 5th, getting as close to the heavens as we can on a bike, there is Tea and Scones on the Gateway Bridge pinnacle,...with a breath taking view,...thanks to Iain Moore for leading and organising this event,..

And our next Club Get Together will be at Bellissimo's cafe Cooparoo,..plenty of safe bike parking,..and plenty of room near the bikes,...Let's pack it out,..Oh, Saturday 18th,.. 8 am onwards,..

The regular rides are on the calendar to see.


The Saturday Arvo rides are on the 11th, 18th and 25th,..so not on Easter Saturday. Thanks to Iain Moore, they leave the Windsor train station carpark at 3 pm,..

Aileen Franklin's Bayside Breeze Sunday ride is on both the 12th and 18th leaving the Thornside Station carpark at 7.30am. Please support this ride as it has received only patchy support thus far,...and is in danger of leaving the calendar if there is not a hand full of riders for each event,...so Please consider,..

 

And on the Sunday in between the 19th Iain Moore has his Brunch Sandgate ride leaving Kalinga Park at 7.30 am.

 

Other weekly rides are well supported, these being Tuesdays Alt Oasis to Sandgate and Thursdays Coffee at the Beach (Sandgate) and the Redcliffe Run,...the latter and the former will be at the new start time of 7am from now.
