Welcome to the website of the Mandurah Over 55 Cycling Club

The aim of the club is to promote health, fitness and fellowship among cyclists and their families. Both experienced and inexperienced riders are catered for by having groups that cycle different distances, and at different speeds.

Club Rides

The club meets weekly on Tuesday mornings for a club ride, normally departing at 9am from the Old Yacht Club, Mandurah, our base in Halls Head (view map).

We split into small groups and ride to different locations in and around Mandurah. The rides are around 2½ hours, broken with morning tea. After the rides, tea and coffee are available at the clubhouse and members can stay for a chat. There are several members who ride tandem bikes, including a sight-impaired member.

Social rides are arranged during the week especially on Fridays. Rides to Perth are rostered on the ride calendar. This calendar is also circulated in print form and covers a three to four month period.

Cycling Tours

Cycling tours within WA are organised during the year. Caravan visits to regional centres in the southwest are popular, with day cycle tours in the surrounding districts. Back up vehicles, with first aid facilities, let you decide how far and when to cycle. A “Tail End Charlie” is a requirement of every ride so you are never left stranded.

Other Events

Monthly barbecues and cycling holidays are a great part of the club’s activities. Members who do not cycle can participate in these events by being a social member for $10 per annum (conditions apply). The social committee arranges a monthly dinner/lunch with reasonably priced meals, Melbourne Cup lunch and other functions. Each school holiday there is a special “grannies” day when grandchildren are invited to ride with us.

Visitors are welcome and we often play host to overseas and inter-state visitors.
