BUNCH RIDES
Noosa Bike Shop group rides are Tuesday and Thursday. We have suggested local routes in and around the Noosa hinterland. You’ll usually find a local crew and a few at 6am from Noosa Bike Shop most mornings.
Monday
There is no organised group ride on, although you’ll nearly always find some locals and visitors every morning at NBS at 6am. Monday is an easy, flat loop is linked below. This can be done at a pretty easy pace and the use of vintage bikes and fixies are encouraged. You’ll be back at your favourite coffee spot after about 40k round trip.
