* Hard Thursday rides. These rides will only occur if enough riders text the ride leader the night before the ride to indicate their intention to ride. If the ride is cancelled because not enough riders do so or because of bad weather, the leader will notify those who have texted.

# These rides are to encourage all levels of riders to try hill climbing, specifically in the Dandenongs. Those with the desire and appropriate gearing (34/30 minimum) will be welcomed.
