Welcome to Macedon Ranges Cycling Club
We are a friendly and welcoming cycling club located in the beautiful Macedon Ranges.
We conduct group rides on Sunday and Thursday mornings.
The starting point for Sunday rides alternates between Kyneton, Woodend and Gisborne – with occasional Sunday rides starting in other towns in the Macedon Ranges. Sunday ride options include a shorter ride of around 40 km at an average speed in the low 20’s kmh, and a longer ride of around 60 km at an average speed of around 25+ kmh.
Thursday rides start from Woodend each week and are around 50 km in distance at an average speed in the low to mid 20’s kmh.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further information.
