SKCC WOMEN KIT RIDES - MEMBERS ONLY
SKCC kit rides are a great way to meet the other women in the club and there is plenty of eye candy to look at along the way. We understand that not everyone can get out in the wee hours of the morning on a regular basis. Coming out, even if it is only once or twice, here or there, can open up the door for you to meet other members and find out about the other rides that club members do that may be at a more suitable time.

What do I need to bring: A shiny road bike, your SKCC kit, helmet, arm warmers, leg warmers, wind vest, plenty of flashing lights and some cash to buy a coffee/hot chocolate afterwards.

What do I need to know: We strictly follow the code of conduct when out on all rides. This means, calling of hazards, hand signaling, stopping at red lights and generally sharing the road politely as we ride.

Coffee news: The womens kit rides finish at the Urban Hotel, Fitzroy St, St Kilda for $2.00 coffees!

PLEASE NOTE: There is an expectation that new SKCC members joining the ride have a base level of fitness in order to keep up on this ride.  If you are unable to maintain the pace then you may find that you drop off the back of the bunch.  How to get better?  Ride, ride, and then ride some more! We ride two abreast and do rolling turns so that everyone gets to chat to each other at some point. Only SKCC members wearing their kit will be able to do rolling turns. These are club rides and all women have a CA licence. For more information about licences please go to our membership section. Most weeks it is a small bunch of women anywhere from two to twelve. Sometimes, there is a man or two but they are put under strict instructions to stay at the back and not try and increase the pace on the front.

Special offer to SKCC female members – girls only ride Wednesday mornings!! Leaving 6.00am from Café Racer, St Kilda, we roll to Black Rock and back for coffee at The Urban Hotel on Fitzroy Street St Kilda by 7.00am.  It sits around the 30km/hr and it is a great way to start the day. Non-SKCC girls welcome as long as they have a current CA licence.  Check out the women's column page as well for more information. Hope to see you there and please note our 'STW' policy. (STW = subject to weather.  If it’s raining or there are really strong winds blowing = no ride!)

Note: When the wind is blowing and trees are horizontal or it's driving with rain riders reserve the right be to soft! If you are new to the club this ride is a non threatening, easy way to hone your skills such as signalling, calling lights and doing rolling turns.  It is a great way to gain greater confidence for when your on the road riding solo or in a bunch. If you get caught at the lights we will slow down and wait for you and remember that you will travel faster in the bunch.  You may hardly notice the distance and your speed as there is much chatting to be had on the ride!
