Two formal rides are arranged each month, occurring on the first and third Sunday. The first ride of the month will be local and the second will use the train to take advantage of the excellent trails around Melbourne. Most of the Melbourne routes criss-cross the extensive Metro system. This back-up allows riders short of time, tiring or with a bicycle malfunction to catch a train home without undue hassle. Both rides options are suitable for a range of abilities and, where there is demand, additional mid-week rides are arranged.
