SCC club jerseys are only for club members sorry.

However, they must... • Have an 'international cycling licence' or appropriate 3rd party cycle insurance • Experience riding in a bunch If you do then please... • Email our Club Secretary (see email address below) with your 'international cycling licence', with a completed SCC Terms and Condition form (see bottom of 'Join' page) with your intended visiting dates and a brief description of your cycling experience. • Make yourself familiar with our Club Etiquette guide (see "Rides" page) • Introduce yourself at the start of the ride then ride at the back of the bunch. • Come for a coffee and a chat after the ride :) If you are moving to Sydney, you will have to follow the regular joining process

SCC welcomes interstate visitors to join our rides. However, you must... • Read our bunch etiquette guide • Be affiliated with a cycling club and send your Cycling Australia licence to our Club Captain • Introduce yourself at the start of the ride then ride at the back of the bunch • Come for a coffee and a chat after the ride :) If you are moving to Sydney, you will have to follow the regular joining process

Unless you have been racing for a previous club, yes! There are many strong solo riders who would benefit from improving their bunch riding skills. Another reason is that some of our signals and the way we roll over is different to other clubs.

Please see our 'Join' section in the top menu.

We are especially catering for: • people new to road cycling who have only ridden by themselves. • roadies who have only ridden with groups of friends • triathletes who have never ridden in a bunch • mountain bikers who are getting into road riding • roadies who need a bit more confidence • everyone (we have different calls and rotate/roll differently to other clubs)

They are held on the first Saturday of the month at 6.30am.

All SCC rides start from the centre of Centennial Park on Parkes Drive, near the retro American coffee trailer. Still not sure? Click on the Rides section of this website for a map

Yourself, your road bike (with drop handle bars), a water bottle, a tool kit and spare tube and maybe an energy bar or small snack. If it's winter, lights and warm clothes like gloves, base layers, arm warmers, leg warmers and wind vest. Wear more than you think as there is a bit of standing around listening to instructions so you get cold quickly.

A road bike with drop handlebars. We don't allow flat bars or aero bars as these are not ideal for bunch riding. You don't need clip-in pedals and shoes for the intro ride but worth in investing in some if you continue with the sport. Whatever you do don't try clip-in pedals for the first time on the intro ride - they take a bit of practice to get used to!

We will do some bunch riding skills at the beginners' bike track in Centennial Park, getting used to riding close to one another. We then ride to Heffron Park in Maroubra practising bunch riding along the way. At Heffron we review the 2km bike circuit and learn how to paceline and rollover and practice. We then return to Centennial Park in the bunch, rolling. We finish back where we started at the Spruce Goose caravan where you can grab a coffee and meet the other club members (who would have finished their morning rides).

About 8:30am

We hope you enjoyed the intro ride and join us but you're under no obligation. Although if you want to join us on club rides after we require you to become a member.

We cater for a variety of abilities but you should be able to ride at least 7 laps of Centennial Park in an hour (27km/h average).

Sorry but we insist that all new riders complete the Intro ride first. If you are transferring from another cycling club then please contact the Club Captain and send them your completed T&C form (found at the bottom of the 'Join' page).
