StopCoffee regroup at the MC Clubhouse
The Saturday MC Classic is the ride that started it all — a 36 km loop through the Eastern suburbs from Maroubra. Three groups roll out together at 6:30am from Maroubra and split by pace: a steady 20 km/h bunch for new riders, a 25 km/h middle group, and a 28 km/h front group for those who want to push.
Everyone regroups for coffee at the MC Clubhouse before starting Saturday. No-drop policy across all three groups: if you're suffering, the back of the bunch is there to drag you to the Clubhouse. If you're new to bunch riding, this is the ride to start with.
