Swan Hill-Mystic Park-Barham-Kerang, 120 kms, Intermediate/Hard

If you're a MBTC financial member you're welcome!
An easy, if somewhat, long ride skirting some creeks & rivers in central Victoria.
First day: 40.0 ks; second day: 80 ks. (no major climbs)
We'll take the 7.40 am train to Swan Hill arriving at 12.24 pm, we'll go for a coffee/early lunch and buy provisions before we set off to Mystic Park, right in front of Lake Boga, for luxury glamping accommodation: https://kangaroolakehotelmotelaccommodation.com.au/
Overnight accomodation fee is $ 189.00 so we'll divide this amount equally between the riding group. They provide 6 double beds bunks.
The next day, we'll have an early breakfast and make some food to carry for the day, although Merribit has a general store that closes at 2.00 pm, further down there is another possibility to get food at Koondrook/Barham towns.
We'll be following the N S W/ Victoria border (along Murray River) as close as possible.
We need to get to Kerang, on the second day, before 5.20 pm as this is the last train to Melbourne, arriving at 9.15 pm
Check route here (give or take a couple of wrong turns): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53048568
The route is 70 % paved, so there is some gravel to contend with.
So bring your in good condition bike, we suggest 32+ mm tires, also bring warm clothing as temperatures could be low.
We'll keep a steady pace, stopping often to regroup.
No one left behind policy applies, but you need to keep yourself properly fueled and hydrated through the ride.
