Lilydale to Carrum on the paths (55km) and maybe back to Melb on road (96km)

Please note: The date has now changed from Thursday 29th May to Sunday 1st June.

A Sunday ride via various paths and roads from Lilydale to Carrum and optionally from Carrum to the City via Nepean and Beach Rds.

Note: Some of this route is on light gravel paths (Lilydale topping). Okay for road bikes, though.

Tailwinds will help us most of the way to Carrum so I expect we'll get the train back to town from there if the headwinds to town are too strong.

Getting there: 9:06 Flinders St train arrives Lilydale 10:15
We usually travel in the last carriage if that suits you.

• Sunday Melbourne forecast : Partly cloudy, 18°, Light winds becoming northerly 15 to 25 km/h during the morning.
