Sharks

Grab a Shark Experience on the Goldie

The Sharks are a long time unofficial cycling group who draw cyclists from most of the clubs and groups at the central to Northern end of the Coast. This is an imfamous if not iconic Gold Coast ride and will often include NRS riders looking for a leg loosener.

Notes

• Only join a Sharks ride if you are skilled at riding in larger groups – this is not for the novice or new riders
• Pace over Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Hill (2 sections) 500 mtrs section 5% + a small 8 % kicker at top will be 25 – 30 km/hr and this is where the group is very often split into 2 – 3 groups for the homeward leg.
• Pace returning home from Currumbin to Main Beach will be 40 – 55/60km/hr
• The Sharks ride is iconic GC and has a long informal ride history
