Just wanted to share details of a thriving social riders group for women on Sydney's Northern Beaches! We had a fantastic beginner-friendly social ride last Sunday and really keen to see lots of new faces at the next one. The group is a perfect place to meet for those looking for new riding buddies or company on rides - "like" the Facebook page and let's get some more rides happening!

You can also sign up to the newsletter here and keep an this page for details of upcoming rides.

As you may note in the pic below, we occasionally allow guys on the rides too!

The other half is interested in this, but as a beginner she's a little low in ability and more importantly, confidence.

How difficult are the rides u guys/gals undertake?

Last weekend's ride was one of our easier ones - 10km out and back along a fire road (Long Trail in Terrey Hills) which is a bit rough & loose in sections and has one or two short climbs, but we had a lot of beginners with us who managed it well. Everyone was very supportive giving each other riding tips where necessary and the pace was extremely social. We always have someone at the back (as well as the front) for managing the group but also if anyone is struggling, we can help them along while the others go ahead.

Our next ride might be slightly longer and a bit more hilly (Duck Holes & Centre Track at Terrey Hills) but will be similar from a technical point of view. There are people in the FB group that organise lots of informal rides at places like Manly Dam, Red Hill, and further afield, but for the formally organised ones we tend to stick to beginner friendly routes.

Hope to have her join us sometime! Chocolate Foot also do this which would definitely give her a boost in the ability and confidence department :)
