Your ride leader is Helga 0415 183 540; all enquiries for this ride to Helga. Cancellations of this ride due to weather will be made via Team App.

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 and roads for lunch near Yarraville Station.
The ride is predominantly on sealed, shared paths, 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 heritage-listed Main Sewer Outfall.
If you can cope with the above, you will be treated to a long, mainly flat, open ride with limited shade from the sun, hence the early morning start.
In all seriousness, this is a fun leisurely ride that allows us to explore some areas different from our regular rides.
This ride is on sealed paths, busy roads and quiet roads.
