The BT Future2 Wheel Classic follows the route taken in 1955 by Jack Griffin, a professional cyclist. His son Ray of Future2 was inspired by his father's recollections of the ride, on rough dirt roads for much of the way. The idea is to get to Sydney on bike while raising money for young Aussies in need.

Talk on the street was about which Tyres are good for racing, bunch rides and the every day commute? After a few discussions in various bunches, the Vittoria Rubino Pro's came up quite often so we thought we'd give them a go.

This ride was originally a "BUG type" ride. Over time it has evolved to cater for the cafe racers also. It has four groups that cater for the beginner riders all the way through to guys who can mix it with the racers. This is the perfect route for racers who are trying to get their partner into cycling. You can still work hard in a strong group while your partner can take it easy with the newbies. At the end we all catch up for coffee at Latteccino's.

The Colluzi/Latteria Bunch ride from Darlinghurst to Waterfall originated in the 1980's when St George club riders from the city/east left Coluzzi at 6.20am to hook with the club ride which left Hurstville at 7am. The ride now originates from outside Bar Coluzzi and Latteria cafes and mostly includes riders from St George, Sutherland, Randwick Botany, Easts and North Sydney cycling clubs. It is not an easy ride.
