Can I try a session before I join?
We have an 2 week trial membership, give that a go and you will be a full time BRAT in no time.
This ensures you are fully insured.
What does the insurance cover?
Here is a fact sheet from Triathlon Australia.
What type of bike can I use on your rides?
You have to have a road or a time trial bike. No commuter, hybrids, mountain bikes, BMXs. Why? Safety - there is a large speed difference with those bikes and the rest of the group.
I am new to triathlon, can you help me?
We have lots of first timers each year, and our coaches, BRATStars and ride leaders will give you lots of tips and tricks.
Join us, ask away and get hooked!

Am I ready for Saturday’s Waterfall ride?
We suggest doing two Tuesday’s and two Thursday’s rides and chat to other riders.
