WOW …. otherwise known as Women on Wheels! The next program will commence shortly and we’re excited to progress our participants through sessions on cycle skills, the mysteries of bike maintenance, how to remove a wheel and fix a puncture, the vagaries of gear changing, how to get from A to B safely and other secret womens business! We’ll practise in a safe place and then you will explore the byways and bikeways around Ipswich and Springfield. Each week will bring a different venue. So dust off that bike, dig out your helmet, buck up your courage and sign up...

The food is all eaten and the presents unwrapped.  Santa's delivered a gleaming new bike.  What to do and where to go? Cycle Away is the answer!  We can refresh those half-forgotten cycle skills or teach new ones, can show you where to ride and help fulfil your bucket list item of an overseas cycle tour. Join our Learn to Ride sessions, Ride With Friends group or chat to us about one of our overseas tours.  Call Jan on 0427 431 481 or e-mail info@cycleaway.com.au  

The thoughts of a first time She Rider.  8am: A little bit nervous, not sure what to expect, but certain that she’ll never keep up with the lady over there in the lycra and cleats. 10am: Buddies with the lady in lycra and cleats, who turned out to be just as nervous because the cleats were new, and she was having difficulty stopping in a hurry. We all benefit from sharing strengths, laughing together – and celebrating successes with those who were strangers just 2 hours ago…  

  The latest WOW program has just come to a close, and we have lots of happy ladies who have found new cycling partners, new skills and even new bikes! From Limestone Park to Robelle Domain, and Bundamba to Brassall – we’ve explored meandering paths, taken tight corners, conquered a few hills and woo-hooed it right to the bottom again. Tyres were changed, road safety experienced and friendships cemented. Thank you Ipswich City Council for providing this wonderful program! Next program starts 7 October and for $5 you can join the 6 week program and learns some fun bicycling skills. Email...
