Docklands - Avondale Heights - Edgewater (Coffee) loop (35km social)

A ride we last did in October '25

Ride:
This is a social pace ride going to the Maribyrnong River and leading to Avondale Heights trestle bridge lookout on quiet roads. There's a little bit of rideable gravel, some short hills to push your push-bike up and some surprising scenery on the route. We'll be mostly on bike paths.

Coffee stop: Edgewater Lakes will be our afternoon tea break.
Distances are 19km to the lookout, another 8km to coffee and only 8 km back to town after that.

Distance: 35 Km

Speed: 20-25 Kmh approximately, depending on conditions.

Bike: Any bike in good condition. Pump up your tyres to recommended pressures and check your bike over prior to the day. A lighter bike will be easier on those hills, of course.

Bring: Water, sunscreen, spare tube, pump, tools, your phone with my number.
