About MBTC
Our common interest in bicycle touring does not preclude us from pursuing other activities like social outings, lunchtime get-togethers, cinema and mountain biking events.
We are the proud organisers of the annual MAD Ride (aka Melbourne Autumn Daytour) held in April each year. We offer three routes - two road rides of about 60 and 120 kms and a challenging mountain bike ride of 65 kms. Running for 27 years, the MAD Ride draws cyclists of all abilities and interests every year.
The purposes of the club are:
- to promote the image and interests of cycling in general and cycle touring in particular
- to encourage the enjoyment of outdoor activities
- to encourage the understanding, appreciation and preservation of our natural environment
