The RACV Ascent- Bicycle Network

The Spin Room and Bicycle Network believe that 50% of all bike riders should be women. Currently, only one in three bike riders are women and that’s pitiful. So we’re taking a stand. The RACV Ascent is Bicycle Network’s bold new initiative to address the imbalance and get more women on to bikes. Join us and be part of our journey to 50/50.


Whether you're new to riding, confident or getting back on the bike after a break, make today the start of your journey to something extraordinary. 


Entering an event can be a great motivator to get fit and active and start the year off with a bang. Get your friends together and set a cycling goal that'll get you active and you'll have fun along the way. The Ascent 100km Ride is a women's only event held on Sunday 17 April 2016 through Victoria's Yarra Ranges. We understand that 100km is a challenging distance so we've also added a shorter 65km option available to riders on the day.

Giro Della Donna

Cycling Tips held their inaugural Giro Della Donna ride on Sunday 22nd of November.  We had a huge number of Spin Room members take place in this event and live the "train in to ride out" message.  It was great to see so many people in the latest Spin Room jersey and ride some of Victoria's most amazing roads.

 

Tour de Bress

On Friday 13th November, a number of Spin Room members took part in the Tour de Bress.  The Tour de Bress is a 130km ride with the aim of raising money for the Mirabel Foundation (Mirabel assists children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to parental illicit drug use and are now in the care of extended family).  This year the course started and finished in Castlemaine and featured some of the great local roads and climbs.  It finishes with riders watching the local Tour de Bress crit in main street Castlemaine.  The day finishes with a dinner at Bress vineyard and a charity auction.  This year over $55,000 was raised for the foundation.

Inagural Giro della Donna Gran Fondo

November 22, 2015 at 07:00am
 
The Giro della Donna is in just over 5 weeks! CyclingTips has kindly offered Spin Roomers a 15% discount!

This is going to be an awesome day, with over 107km of closed roads around a spectacular part of outer Melbourne!

There is going to be a strong contingent of Spin Roomers taking part in the day, including the whole instructor team. This is your chance to jump on the wheel of an instructor and give some abuse back!

Register now until 11:59pm Friday 16th and enter code SPINROOM15GDD to grab the discount.

We’ve teamed up with Jaggad Cycling and Giant South Yarra to release a limited edition jersey for the event. Inspired by the ‘Polka Dot Jersey’ of the mountain climbers, we’ve thrown our #trainintorideout philosophy into a jersey that we think will stand out on the day and around Melbourne this summer!
