Ride:
This is a new social pace ride and mostly on bike paths. We head west to the Maribyrnong River and then take a variety of paths and bike lanes to arrive in Sunshine from the north where we'll find another "Cow" sculpture by the same artist 🐄 as in Docklands.

Coffee stop in Sunshine: The shops are mostly Vietnamese out there so take the chance to try something different, perhaps? They do make a good cappuccino coffee, too, as I found in my recce ride ☕

Getting to town: Do check if your train into town has any disruptions, won't you? (Southern Cross is the closest station to our starting point) https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/disruptions/disruptions-information/
