Cycling Training
Training at CAMS is suitable for all rider levels, from beginner to competitive. You can train as part of an outdoor group under the direction of an Auscycling accredited coach. You will work alongside other members of similar ability to build your skills, endurance and ability on the road.
Outdoor Training
Coached outdoor group rides can be booked Tuesday, Thursday and Friday to Sunday mornings. Our coaches are Auscycling accredited and highly experienced.
Our weekend rides cover longer distances from 60km, and up to120km for some of the faster groups. CAMS have four separate ride groups every Saturday and three on Sundays to cater to various speed and skill levels. There is a ride group for everyone, and all groups have a coach on board.
CRUISERS - average group speed of about 23-25kph, riding 60-85km per weekend ride.
SPINNERS - a little faster (avg. about 26-28kph), riding a little further (about 75-90km).
CHASERS - faster again (avg. about 28-30kph), riding a little further (about 85-110km).
BREAKAWAYS - the fastest (avg. 30+kph) and therefore generally going the furthest (about 90-120km).
Average speeds do depend on the size of the group and the terrain, so are only an indication. If you haven’t ridden much in a group you will find your average speed will be higher than you are accustomed to, if you are in the correct group for your ability.
We follow the Queensland road rules and we do not leave anyone behind, as safety is our priority. We will all stop to rectify any mechanical issue during the ride and coaches carry first aid kits.
The location and degree of challenge for each group is constantly varied. We enjoy some popular cycling routes as well as some you may have never tried before. Variety is key and we are always adding new routes to keep things interesting. These rides are perfect for making new friends while working on your ride skills, strength and endurance.
Three groups do a 40km River Loop on a Friday morning with a staggered start from 5.15am.
