We’re trying again and hoping the weekend trains are running.
Grab your MYKI and get onboard! This ride commences with BYO breakfast aboard a PTV train from Southern Cross to Werribee. The train trip is approx. an hour and from there we ride approx. 25kms along the Federation Trail for lunch near Yarraville Station.
The ride is predominantly on shared paths with a fully sealed surface, a couple of bumpy footpaths, one or two main roads and some quiet back streets. The scenery is not very inspiring as we pass several industrial complexes, some are a tad smelly and downright ugly. And before I forget, we also follow the Main Sewer Outfall, which is no longer in use.
If you can cope with the above, you will be treated to a lovely, mainly flat, open ride with limited shade from the sun, hence the early morning start. Pink riders can catch a train back from Yarraville and magenta riders can join me for an extended ride to Docklands.
In all seriousness, this is a fun leisurely ride that allows us to explore some areas different from our regular rides and I’m confident you will enjoy the experience and be pleased with your riding efforts.
