Elwood for coffee and back via Albert Park Lake (22km)
Details
RSVPs ARE NOT OPEN YET ... read below for details:
NB: Currently, Sunday has up to 15mm rainfall forecast that wouldn't permit this ride to go ahead.
I am posting it just in case the weather outlook improves.
RSVPs are not open until the weather looks better. Maybe Friday evening we'll know if there's a chance and I'll open for RSVPs then.

A short ride Sunday as an excuse to visit Elwood Bakery & Patisserie ๐
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 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 1pm.
