BIKE WEEK- Social Ride

YOU'RE INVITED!
Come and join a recreational cycling group for adults who are keen to get riding on Warrnambool’s fantastic bike paths & trails. The group is linked to Warrnambool City Council (WCC) and co-ordinated by the Archie
Graham Community Centre Programs Co-ordinator Clare Vaughan.

How to join: Register your interest at Archie Graham Community Centre or call 5559-4920 to register. 

Where: We ride along Warrnambool Foreshore Promenade and/or the Rail Trail.

Rusty Riders Checklist: For safety reasons, the skills of new members will be checked prior to riding out with the group. Those whose skills are a bit rusty from not having ridden for a long time are welcome to come along and practice riding in the safety of the vacant caravan park and then when you’re ready, your skills will be checked. Bikes have changed a lot in the last few years so it is worth it to get a few tips and practice.

Bikes: Bring your own bike and helmet if you have one or during BIKE WEEK we can provide a hire bike for your first 5 sessions after that you can hire them for $5 per ride.
Social cyclists take personal responsibility while on the rides by:
- Ensuring your bike is in good mechanical order; carry a spare tube & basic tools. A condition of use of a hire bike is that the ABCD safety check must be done prior to riding. Just ask an Archie Social Cycling
Volunteer if you want a demo.
- Wearing a helmet, light coloured clothes and enclosed footwear
- Carrying a mobile phone in case of emergency, if you own one and load emergency + APP
IMPORTANT: In the unlikely event of a serious accident or incident that is life threatening, an ambulance will be called by fellow riders. Expenses are the responsibility of the injured person.
- Being prepared for varied weather conditions; by bringing water bottle, sunscreen & coat for wind/rain as required
- Bringing personal preventative medications for asthma, diabetes or other conditions.
- Notify the volunteer keeping the attendance sheet that you are riding with the group before each ride.
- Be COVID safe by keeping 1.5m distance and sanitising hands before touching shared items such as tyre pumps, taps, door handles, hire bikes, pens and papers.
Ride Volunteer:
- Are not responsible for the safety of individual cyclists
- Help riders operate as a group for the safety and enjoyment of all.
- Have access to a bike shed key and therefore take responsibility for shed security.

DURING BIKE WEEK: Will provide 5 sessions of Bike Hire for free.
