Saturday Arvo Brighton Fish and Chips with Elwood swim. Easy Social.

Saturday Arvo Brighton Fish and Chips. 13 km. Easy Social.
It’s Valentine’s Day so bring your beau along for a surprise.
We’ll meet at ‘Time Out’, Fed Square, for a chilled Mocktail at 4pm, then departing along the new segregated bike lane along leafy well shaded St Kilda Road.

We’ll get on to the Fitzroy Street St Kilda segregated trail via the pedestrian underpass, then the Bayside trail.
Remember to bring your bathers if the weather is hot and we’ll stop at Elwood Beach for a quick refreshing dip.
Some streets through to St. Andrews Church where there is a public eating area.

The Tank, Fish and Chips is nearby.

After dinner, the ride tends to fragment with many riders choosing to return via the train from Middle Brighton Station.
However, if the day has been hot then returning via the Bayside trail to Port Melbourne Trail then Jeffs Shed is very pleasant.

What to bring:
If the weather is hot then bring plenty of water, electrolytes and bathers.
Also bike lights because it may be getting dark as you head home, however, this is a social ride so that’s probably about it.
The route can be viewed on ride with GPS and it’s always handy to download the route before the ride:
