Welcome to the Lane CoVelo Cycling Club.

We are a group of cyclists who meet every Saturday morning in Lane Cove Plaza (125 Longueville Road Rd) at 6:30am. Our rides are primarily social in nature.

Ride groups are at different speeds and distances.

Group Distance Flat Pace 5% Climb Pace Normal Return Time
A Group 80km+ 30km/hr 16km/hr 10:00 AM
B1 Group 70km+ 28km/hr 15km/hr 9:30 AM
B2 Group 60km+ 26km/hr 14km/hr 10:00 AM
C Group 40km+ 24km/hr 12km/hr 9:00 AM

It is more important that you are able to ride at the pace on the flats in a group than you able to do the pace on the hills, the groups typically splinter on the hills, but regroup at the top. Riders are expected to be self sufficient on the bike, so please carry a spare tube, pump and some basic tools. The group will stop for mechanicals, but please ensure that your bike is in good mechanical repair.

A small note re C Group. It is a small group and may not have a ride leader, or perhaps any rider on occasion. So please ensure you have a backup plan, e.g. an alternate solo ride planned or if capable, join B2.

Upcoming rides can be found on TeamApp. You will need to register for each ride on TeamApp. Download TeamApp to your phone (or use the web) and register with Lane Covelo, and then RSVP to the ride event. New riders may ride with a group for a couple of rides before joining as a member.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to bring along?
- You will need to wear an Australian Approved Helmet, your bike needs to be in good mechanical order. Please also carry a spare tube, tyre levers, pump and some basic tools. Please also carry some food, at least one water bottle and some money. The group may stop at water points depending on the time of year and distance.
  
  We finish at Sircus Cafe in the Lane Cove Arcade (43-45 Burns Bay Rd), so if you want something there please bring along some money.
Why do you want my address?
- Firstly, your address is only visible on this site to the Executive Committee. We ask for your address for membership reasons, but it also means that we have an address should an incident occur and we need to return equipment to you.
Why don't you ride the same route every week?
- Because it gets boring. There are so many fantastic rides that we can do from Lane Cove.
How do I join?
- You can join as an associate member if you are already a member of Cycling NSW at another club or if you are a member of Bicycle NSW. If you are not already a member of Cycling NSW or Bicycle NSW you will need to become a full member.
