🌞 Eat, Drink, Dip & Coast — Summer Social Ride to Point Ormond - 22km return

🌞 Eat, Drink, Dip & Coast — Summer Social Ride along the beach to Point Ormond - 22km Return
A breezy, cheeky, sun‑kissed roll along Melbourne’s waterfront

Ready to flirt with summer? We’re taking our wheels, our wit, and our warm‑weather charm on a coastal cruise from the Skyline Ferris Wheel at South Wharf all the way to Point Ormond — with beach dips, café temptations, and plenty of banter stops to keep things loose (especially my muscles, which will absolutely need it).

🚲 Meet & Greet (and maybe a cheeky pre‑ride coffee)
10:15 a.m. — Arrive early at the Skyline Ferris Wheel, right next to the Love Café by the Exhibition Centre. We'll leave by 10.30 a.m.

Grab a snack, sip something energising, and warm up your social muscles.

10:30 a.m. — We roll out. Smooth, slow, and social.

🌊 The Route: Waterfront flirtation
We’ll glide along the cycleway to Beacon Cove, then follow the coastline past Port Melbourne, hugging the bay all the way to St Kilda and finally Point Ormond.
It’s about 11 km each way — a breezy 22 km return — and absolutely not a race. Think: leisurely cruising, sunshine, sea breeze, and the occasional “wait, look at that view” pause.

🩱 Swim Optional… but highly encouraged if it’s hot
If the day turns steamy, we’re making a splash.
Bring towel + bathers if you’re feeling brave, beachy, or both.

☕ Lunch & Swim Stop — Group Choice
We’ll hit the café‑rich stretch around St Kilda for our mystery lunch decision point.
The group decides where we land — café, swim, or both.
Add an extra hour if we settle in for food or a dip.

🕒 Timing
Expect around 3 hours of rolling and chatting, plus optional extra time for lunch/swim indulgence

💬 Vibe
Light. Flirty. Inclusive.
A summer ride with a wink — perfect for loosening up, meeting new people, and letting the coastline do its magic.

👍Requirements
Make sure your bike works and is capable of doing 22km return. Bonus if you can do it as well lol!

Consider getting RACV Bike assist insurance. Only $23.50 per year that covers bike repair, or if you need repair and transport and can't finish the ride. Download their Arevo bike navigation app which contains the discount code.

Beach towel and bathers (thongs) if an ocean dip is on the cards

If you need a bike rental consider Blue Tongue Bikes, just across the river at Batman Park, next to King St.
