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

It does look as if the afternoon will be dry (after 0 - 1mm in the morninng) so the ride will be on from 1pm and back before 4pm.
RSVPs are now open and I hope you can join us (if you don't have Mothers Day committments 🙂)

A short ride Sunday as an excuse to visit Elwood Bakery & Patisserie 😁

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.
