Go indirectly to Gaol (City - former Pentridge Prison) - Clockwise

The outlook for Saturday has improved so let's go for a short bike ride, eh?
Ride: This is a social pace ride mostly on paths to the former Pentridge Prison in Coburg. We'll ride via via Royal Park and Upfield Path north to Coburg and return after a 30min (or so) lunch via Coburg Lake and the Merri Creek Trail. (Reverse of the way we usually go, if you've done this before).

Cloudy. The chance of morning fog about the nearby hills. Medium chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. Light winds.
