Come along for a relaxed social ride on Lysterfield’s beautiful mountain bike trails. We ride in three groups, so no matter your fitness or experience, there’s a place for you. All groups are no‑drop, supportive, and social. If the singletrack is closed, we’ll switch to a fun mini mystery adventure within Lysterfield Park. We ride in all weather unless conditions are deemed unsafe. If a cancellation is required, you’ll be notified by email.   Foundation Group New to mountain biking? Returning after a break? Or just keen for a cruisy ride with a few challenges along the way? Expect 10–13 km, some hills, gentle features, plenty of breaks, and lots of laughs. Perfect for absolute beginners through to competent riders wanting a supportive, easygoing group.   Intermediate – Relaxed This group suits riders who are confident on their MTB and want to explore Lysty at a steady pace that gets the heart rate up, with short rests along the way. If you can comfortably ride 14–20 km, complete a full Lysty loop, and ride around 95% of the features, this is your ideal group.   Intermediate – Confident For riders who are comfortable on all Lysterfield trails and features, ride regularly, and enjoy a faster pace with minimal stopping. If you’re a “less talk, more ride” type and ready for 18–25 km with around 500 m elevation, this is the group for you.   You must register for this event. Groups will run separately and depend on ride leader availability. After the ride, join us for coffee, snacks, and a chat at The Orchard @ Montagues. There is no charge, but registration is essential. All riders must hold AusCycling insurance: https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership A free 4‑week trial is available: https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/free-trial   What you will need: - A mountain bike in good working order - An Australian safety standards approved helmet - Water, snacks, spare tube
