When the journey
is the point.
Ride hard. Ride smart. Ride together.
Whether you're chasing race fitness, enjoying a social spin, or just looking for a great bunch to share a coffee with afterwards, there's a VRT ride for you.
At VRT, every ride has a purpose
Some are built around structured training. Others are about recovery, race preparation or simply spending time on the bike with good people. Together they create a weekly schedule that helps riders of all abilities improve, build confidence and enjoy the sport.
Five rides each week. Five different reasons to get out of bed before sunrise.
Tuesday Chase
Threshold and VO2 efforts, aerobic power and a chance to challenge yourself. Riders start in ability groups, with faster groups catching slower groups throughout the session.
Wednesday Point 9
A relaxed recovery ride where conversation comes before speed. The bunch stays together and the pace is set by the slowest rider.
Thursday Intervals
Coach-led interval sessions designed to build fitness, strength and race performance. Riders regroup between efforts.
Saturday Chop Shop
The club's biggest bunch ride. Groups from G1–G5 head out across a range of routes, working together through rolling turns and bunch skills.
Sunday Hills
Race day, hills or endurance depending on the calendar. A challenging ride with regroup points at the top of major climbs.
Sunday Breakfast Club
On a recovery week, or feeling heavy legs from the efforts through the week, but still chasing that bunchie fix? Join a relaxed river loop, followed by at least two coffees!
Ride With Us on Strava
Every club ride starts here. Follow VRT on Strava to discover upcoming rides, compare your efforts with the bunch, chase a few KOMs and celebrate every trophy along the way.
Ride safe. Ride predictable. Ride together.
These aren't rules for the sake of rules.
They're what keeps riders safe in every situation, every single week.
Hold your line
Ride smoothly and predictably so everyone around you can do the same.
Communicate
Call hazards, use hand signals and pass information through the bunch.
Respect the road
Be courteous to motorists, pedestrians and fellow riders.
Stay organised
Work together through rolling turns and keep gaps safe and consistent.
Safety first
Because coffee tastes better when everyone gets there safely.
Support your mates
Look after each other. Everyone has good days and bad ones.

Real progression.
More Than Just the Ride
The best part of VRT isn't just the kilometres. It's the conversations before sunrise. The encouragement when you're hanging on. The coffee afterwards. The people who'll wait at the top of a climb, celebrate your first race, and help you become a better rider.
Whether you're chasing podiums or just looking for a regular bunch to ride with, you'll find your place here.
