Come and Try a Bike social ride (Douglas): Sunday 14th August, 7am

Ever wondered what it feels like to ride a 29er? How about a longer travel downhill bike or even a go anywhere all-mountain machine? What about a bike that's comfortable for lady riders?

Come join our upcoming breakfast ride and you’ll get heaps of chances to try a whole range of demo bikes from

And in between test rides, the Rockwheelers’ grill will serve up a few tasty nibblies including the following:

Eat and ride light on the days leading up to this ride so as to save room for this massive feast!

This will be a great opportunity for riders to try styles of bikes that they might only have ever seen on a shop floor or magazines and wondered how they’d actually feel on a ride. We’ll have several ride leaders going out on short loops, some loops for beginners, others for intermediate-advanced riders. The Crank’D guys will help set bikes up before riders take off (pedals, seat height, brake lever position etc). Even if you don’t want to try another bike, just come out for a Sunday morning ride, a sausage, cool drink and a chat with a bunch of friendly Rockwheelers.

Where to meet: the car park, Douglas Mountain Bike Reserve, Angus Smith Drive, Douglas

When: 7am thru until about lunch time, Sunday 14th August

Who can join: all Rockwheelers and friends of Rockwheelers.

Menu (update 13Aug2011):$2 sausage sizzle, $5 steak sandwich, $2 can drink, $4 iced coffee, $4 Gatorade
