Tweed Ride & Eastern Suburbs Brewery Cafe Tour - Intermediate 54 kms

There are a surprising number of brewery cafes tucked away in suburban areas, often close to our shared paths. We shall visit a couple of these establishments to sample their wares, and have a jolly good get-together with friends over an ale and some nice food.
For added fun this is a Tweed Ride, involving dress in casual street clothing (ideally some tweed or woollens for warmth). Any bike is suitable but ideally a classic, retro or vintage bike if you have one, or if not, your least bling ride (any bike will do).

This is an INTERMEDIATE grade ride.

The tour will commence from Blackburn railway station at 10am.
We will ride through back streets of Blackburn Lake and Forest Hill to join the new ngarrak nakorang wilam trail to Dandenong Creek. Then we proceed through Koomba Park on the Dandenong Creek Trail to Jells Park for morning tea. After this we travel along the Ferntree Gully Rd path and Ferny Creek Trail to visit Project Brewing Company, which has some great food options (not much that is vegetarian) as well as beers to sample. We then continue on Ferny Creek trail to Ferntree Gully, then to Boronia on the Railway Trail where we will visit Hard Road Brewing. They also do pizzas here. From here we will continue along the Railway Trail and work our way back to Ringwood and on to Blackburn.
Proposed ride route is HERE.
