Bayswater to Belgrave return beginner + casual ride 29Km 290m elevation

Hi,

Join us for a casual ride from Bayswater up to Belgrave and back again. Beginner + ride (around 15 kmh average speed and ~ 100m elevation per 10Km). Little bit of climbing from Upper FTG to Belgrave but nothing steep (approx 5% max grade). Stop for coffee and cake in Belgrave before heading back down the hill! (Possibly via Handorf's chocolate shop in UFTG if people wish!)

See RWGP route as per link:

Parking at Marie Wallace Bayswater Park. Will meet near the toilet block. Dave will be on a black/grey Merida hybrid with rear pannier, Harvey will be on a black Giant gravel bike. See pin here:

At the moment the long range forecast pretty good - partly sunny with highs of 18, maybe a fresh start.

Hopefully see you all there for a lovely morning out!
