There are many rides around Manly that leave outside of Bike Addiction on Pittwater Road Manly each morning. Please note these are not organised by MWCC nor sanctioned in any way, however they do give an opportunity to have a ride around the Northern Beaches.

The routes are generally consistent, but on the odd occasion do vary.

Bunch Riding Do's and Don'ts

Please review this excellent article on the Do's and Don'ts of Bunch Riding by Chris White of Randwick Botany CC

Paceline Monday: Leave from bus shelter opposite Bike Addiction in Manly at 5.30 sharp, travelling along Pittwater Road and turn north at Warringah Mall and continue along Pittwater Road. There is a second meeting point on Pittwater Road opposite the Bus Terminal at 5.35.  Pace is easy/moderate until Colloray Golf Course where we form into a paceline and at a moderate/fast pace roll a single paceline to Church Point and return.  The objective for this ride is to get a smooth rythm on taking turns at teh front and rolling along in a paceline. On the way back, we turn past Mona Vale Hospital and along the beachfront at Warriewood. Finish at Dee Why RSL, and easy ride back to Barcino for a coffee

Tuesdays and Thursdays: Same route and time, however pace is fast out and back. Coffee afterwards at Barcino

Wednesdays: Same Route and times, but an easy recovery ride

Paceline Friday: Same as Monday

Saturday: 'Coast and Toast' leave BA at 5.30 and moderate pace till Newport Hill. Pace picks up around the 'S' bends into Avalon and continues till Palm Beach. A safe sprint is encouraged at the pedestrian crossing opposite Palm Beach ferry pier. Roll around to Palm beach front beach and regroup at the beachfront.     Return home at a  moderate pace through Whale Beach via Whale Beach Road and before Avalon Beach, we turn right at George St and head towards Clareville along the Pittwater side. Pace increases up the short but steep 'Muur' hill and we do a big loop back towards Avalon Shops along Riverview Rd and Central Dr. We then wind up Avalon hill past the primary school and return to Manly via Warriewood and Narrabeen Beachfronts. The 'toast' is back at Barcino Manly afterwards.

Sunday: Race or meet at BA at 6am and ride up Pittwater Road to Church Point. Continue up McCarrs Creek road, then return to Barcino via Forest Way and Allambie Rd - Pace Moderate.

All Welcome, however all road rules are followed.
