PRATA - Social Rides - Cheeky Monkeys on Wheels |
||||||||
| Every third Sunday of the month, Anza Cycling has a "Prata" ride that starts from the Longhouse at 0800hrs. We get together, the Ride Leader describes the route, and we set off at a pace that is child-friendly. Yes, that means you CAN bring along your children or significant other who is not a cyclist, and they too will have fun. We take the same starting route for a Changi loop, but after a short ride, we take a nice lunch break and eat some Prata. Rested, we take some more bike-friendly roads home. This is a no-pressure ride, designed for a new rider, family and friends to discover the joy of cycling without worrying about speed or difficulties. We do ask that you bring the usual (helmet, spare inner tubes, pump, hydration). If you are a new cyclist, come ride with us and learn about some of the tips and tricks of riding in a group by riding with us at a relaxed pace. If you have family, put on the child seat or trailer or burley or what have you, and come along. We have a no drop policy on this ride. Described thus: "This is what cycing is all about. A gentle ride with good company and the chance to bring the young ones along. This is the ideal setting for newcomers and those keen to ride with their children. There will be experienced riders participating who can share their knowledge, give a few tips and make sure no one gets lost. The course varies depending on the mood and composition of the bunch. Starting at Venus Drive carpark which is about 1 km past the Long House Hawker centre The Bank on Upper Thomson Road at 7am the bunch heads off for around a 40km ride at 20-25kph. The cheeky monkeys (children) do a great job on their own bikes or come along on mum or dad's bike in a baby seat. This ride always ends at the Prata restaurant at the top of old Upper Thomson Rd for breakfast at about 9.30am (I bet most of the regulars have never noticed it!). The pace will follow the slowest rider and will be policed so leave your testosterone in bed & come out for an introductory ride, family ride or just get over that late Saturday night with a good sweat and prata. About 30-40kms depending on the bunch, very easy pace (~20-25kmph)" Here is a short
