Hi, Join us for a casual ride out of Murrumbeena station heading up to Fairfield via the Anniversary Trail and back on the Yarra Trail and Gardiners Creek Trail! We will pass by Fairfield Boathouse @ \ ~18km where we can stop for refreshments! If it appears too busy, there are plenty of other potential stop's on the route (ie several cafes near Abbotsford convent circa 21km) Distance is getting up there with a small amount of climbing (330m) so have kept it as a beginner+ ride See the RWGPS map here: [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54939162](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54939162) We will kick off from Murrumbeena Railway Station (northern carpark between railway line and Neerim Road) @ 9.00am. I'll be on a black Giant gravel bike. See pin here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/8vaezhRfEy2bktXXA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/8vaezhRfEy2bktXXA) **There is a train from the CBD that arrives at 8.51am (departs Town Hall 8.27am Pakenham line) providing there are no disruptions nearer the time!** At the moment the forecast looks TBC Hopefully see you all there for a lovely morning out! **YOUR BIKE** Suitable for any well maintained bike (100% paved) **Note: End time is a guesstimate only** **ESSENTIAL ITEMS** Spare tube, puncture kit, pump, basic tools - good to have with you.
