About the Mid Week Rides: Nice mid-week bunch ride before work. Start at 6am in front of the BG shop. Wednesdays we loop through Rodhes, Melrose Park, sprint on Silverwater rd (usually), coffee at Quad Cafe around 7/7.15 and back at the shop around 8. Fridays is pretty much a reversed loop of Wednesdays with same coffee break and finish time. Usually a good pace, the group waits most of the time for slower riders, especially after harder parts.

The BG Saturday ride usually goes either South (Cronulla, Sutherland, Waterfall) for 65 to 85 kms, or North (Bobbin Head, Galdston Gorge, Pie in the Sky, …) for 70 to 85 kms. Rarely the bunch will go on a different route, just for a change.

Usually a fast pace with a couple of sprint no actual paceline work but nice turns at the front. The bunch usually waits after major hills for slower riders but will keep a reasonable pace.

We always stop for coffee at some point through the ride and are back between 8.30 and 10 am depending on the ride and coffee break.
