Docklands - Laverton Loop, 57 kms, Intermediate

Everybody's welcome! Non MBTC members need to join club at third ride with us, ask us how!
Although riding on the edge of suburbia we'll still be able to enjoy verdant views with an abundance of wild life, specially while riding along Kororoit Creek and Skeleton Creek.
On the way back we'll cross the Yarra river on the punt at Spotswood ($5/pax) to continue riding on Fishermens Bend.
Food wise, we strongly recommend that you bring your own food, drinks and plenty of water for the day.
We'll have lunch at the 25 k mark at the food stalls of the Laverton Market, where you can buy interesting stuff but never use it!
Ride end time is a guesstimate only.
Check route here (give or take a couple of wrong turns): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38040140
The route is 98% sealed, mostly on bike paths, and the terrain is pretty easy to navigate with no climbs.
So bring your, in good condition, bike, we suggest 32+ mm tires.
We'll keep a steady pace, stopping often to regroup.
No one left behind policy applies, but you need to keep yourself properly fueled and hydrated through the ride. A healthy breakfast will also help you to keep up with the riding group.
