About the Uncool Cycling Club

Uncool Cycling Club - average or intermediate rider

The aim of the Uncool Cycling Club is to help you get out of the house and onto your bicycle by inspiring you with interesting rides that are achievable for the intermediate or average rider.

What is an “intermediate” or “average” rider?

By “intermediate” I mean that you are able to cycle 20 to 50 kilometres on dirt, gravel or bitumen surfaces. Your average pace is probably less than 20 kilometres per hour. While you may be cycling a few hills, you probably prefer gradual gradients.

About me

I began my cycling career in 2012 by commuting to work on my mountain bike and making my first attempt on the Mawson Trail.  Over time I built up strength and consistency and got better at hill climbing.

In December 2016, I started the Uncool Cycling Club to find more cycling friends who were happy to go slower and enjoy the scenery.

Recently I have made the transition to an eBike so that I can continue to do the kind of dirt road country adventures that I love best.

Here is an interview I did with Pedal and Tring Tring in 2019.

If you are interested in making a bike helmet brim like mine, read these instructions.

Happy cycling and I hope you enjoy the posts.

Best wishes
