There are several fixed events during the year which mean that the Sunday Ride isn’t run. These are:
Please be there a few minutes earlier than the nominated time so that you’re there to hear the Ride Leader’s briefing so that you know where to go on the ride and where to go afterwards.
- Last Sunday in August - End of Winter Ride
- Sunday of the Labour Day Long Weekend - Gears and Beers Rides

The Fat Tyred Ride
The Fat Tyred Ride is a ride that requires a bike with fat tyres. Held mainly on tracks and cycleways there is little interaction with traffic however some of the terrain requires that you use a bike with suitable tyres. A mountain bike is ideal however a hybrid or touring bike with fat tyres would do the job but it’s definitely not a ride to take a road bike on.
The ride is held on the first Sunday of the month.
The ride leaves from the Wagga Beach at the same time as the regular Sunday Ride. Be there a bit earlier to ensure you are ready to roll at the nominated time.
Following are some samples of the various rides undertaken for the Fat Tyred Ride.
Fat Tyred Ride - Boiling Down Road (loop)
Fat Tyred Ride - River Road (loop)
The Long Ride
The Long Ride is a road ride of about 100 kms. There are a number of loop rides available so it’s a good way to get out and about the local area. This ride is generally held on the second Saturday or Sunday of the month.
As these rides are organised on an ad hoc basis (month to month) the starting venue, date, day and time vary.
All ride details will be announced on the BWW WhatsApp group a day prior to the ride.
(Please note the information about the BWW WhatsApp group below.)

The Gravel Ride
The Gravel ride requires a bike with fat tyres, best done on a gravel bike, although you can use a mountain bike/hybrid if you have a reasonable level of fitness.
The rides are held on gravel roads that vary from smooth to stony. We also use cycle paths and short sections of tar to link the sections together.
Vehicular traffic is normally very light.
The ride is held on the third Sunday of the month, leaving from the North Wagga Store carpark at the same time as the Sunday road ride (8am during the warmer months, and 1pm during the cooler months ).
Be there a few minutes early to ensure you are ready to roll at the designated time.

The TLFTR is named as such because the ladies were the first to organise the ride but it is open to all riders. You will need a mountain bike or a hybrid bike as the course chosen is often off road on bike trails/tracks and gravel roads. The ride lasts for approximately 2 hours.
A finish location is nominated before the ride starts and is usually a suitable location for refreshments and conversation.
