Sandringham - Seaford return, 60 kms (Intermediate, flat, some road riding)

Meet opposite Sandringham Station (near the globe statue) by 9.30 am.
Leaving Sandringham Station, we follow Beach Road (12km on road as the Bay Trail may be too busy with pedestrians) to Mordialloc for a coffee stop at The Mordi Canteen (12 km mark).
We then follow the Longbeach Track to the Patterson River and pick up the Peninsula Link Trail to Seaford via the Edithvale Wetlands lookout.
Returning towards Sandringham via the western side of the wetlands to the Patterson River and then back via the Longbeach Track and Beach Road (12 km on road). We will sidetrack from the Longbeach Trail to Chelsea Beach for lunch (~40 km mark).
Possible return coffee stop at Mentone/Parkdale if time and weather permits. Mordialloc Station is also a potential bail-out point for those not wanting to ride back to Sandringham (or take a shortcut).

WATER
It's your responsibility to check the temperature and distance for the day and carry an appropriate amount of water. When riding outside suburbia remember that carrying too much water is better than not enough as the distances between water availability may vary greatly from the planned route due to road closures or other unforeseen circumstances.

Check Meetup for any changes the day before the ride, as the ride may be cancelled in the event of extreme weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

If you cannot make it to the ride please change your RSVP to 'NO' at least one day before the ride day.
