East Pakenham - Fed Square (70km on paths)
Details
Here's something we haven't done before:
A midweek intermediate level ride via various paths and roads one-way from East Pakenham to the City.
Aiming for lunch in Dandenong after 35km or so at the halfway point.
We may leave the route for water breaks, etc, as the paths generally don't have a great many facilities.
Getting there: 8:47 Town Hall Station train arrives East Pakenham at 09:58
and we'll depart about 10 minutes after that.
If you happen to miss that train we can arrange to meet you at another point, for example, Officer station, if need be.
- Wed Forecast: Melbourne area: 24°
Partly cloudy. Light winds from SSE (Tailwinds) - https://reg.bom.gov.au/places/vic/pakenham/forecast/detailed/#d2026-04-29
Distance: 70km

70km is a long ride on paths so be prepared to keep up, please.
We'll take sufficient rests so it doesn't turn into a slog 🙂
