Cycle : Capital City Trail & Lunch @ Boatbuilders Yard | 30km | 221m ascent

Celebrate Christmas Eve with a scenic cycling loop around Melbourne. The Capital City trail completes a circuit around Melbourne joining up several bike paths such as the Merri Creek Trail, Main Yarra Trail, Moonee Ponds Creek Trail and Inner Circle Rail Trail. We'll be riding over the new Gipps Street bridge into the Abbotsford convent where we can take a quick coffee stop.

We'll aim for a steady average pace of around 15km/h varying the pace depending on the terrain. We'll go anticlockwise and reach the Boat Builders Yard for an early lunch around 12pm. After lunch we'll cruise back riding a leisurely 6km back to the start.

The trail is mainly tarmac. Hybrid bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes and mountain bikes. Pump up your tyres and check your bike the night before!
