Upfield Shared Path Now Open - So Let's Ride It

Reposting for Saturday this ride we just did Thursday 5th Nov so others might like a chance to do it? Despite predictng a shower, the BOM are forecasting a warm afternoon(23°) and high UV Index (7) so I think it won't be a bother after all. There are various trains to exit to if required, as well.

Ride: An easy afternoon loop from Fed Square to ride on the just opened extension of Upfield Path to the Ring Road. I have made up a new route for the occasion 😃

We'll have coffee in Glenroy and return to town on a mix of trails.
(I recommend lunch prior to this afternoon ride as it'll be after 2pm in Glenroy otherwise, but up to you)

Finish point is Melbourne Exhibition Centre (aka Jeff's Shed), btw.
