Sunday 7:30am Ride (Bundoora Hotel, Plenty Rd, Bundoora)

Usually a casual ride out to Whittelsea, and on to Humevale, take the old road up to the top of Kinglake West. Some riders take off up the climb, but everyone regroups at the summit. Some riders continue on over the top through Kinglake and back through Hurstbridge, Greensborough, whilst the majority take the highway back down to Whittelsea then on to Bundoora, for about an 80km ride.

Starting at 6:30pm from SBR on Punt Rd, St Kilda, this ride heads on to Yarra boulevard, where more riders congregate  under Studley Park Rd around 6:50pm to jump on when the bunch comes past.  The bunch winds its way towards Doncaster, before looping round to the finish in Fairfield at around 8:30.
This ride is a perfect road race training because it incorporates 4 short and sharp climbs including the infamous 'Col de Burgundy Street' in Heidelburg, with the bunch regrouping after each effort.
