Elwood for coffee/brunch and back via Albert Park Lake (22km)

A short ride Saturday as an excuse to visit Elwood's Dickens St Grocer
for coffee / lunch. (Google it for pics/reviews).
Seating is outside so we'll see how we go or pop over to Ackland Street if it's too busy.

Ride : We ride from South Wharf on the Rail Trail to Port Melbourne then turn left on the Bay Trail toward St Kilda with a quick look at Lagoon Pier, and possibly St Kilda Pier, before we get there.
Continuing on past St Kilda we turn up the Elwood Canal path and soon after that we'll have our coffee break. Coming back, we'll go past Albert Park Lake for the scenery and through South Melbourne back streets to finish around 2:30pm.

Forecast: Melbourne area - 15°C. Partly cloudy.
