Meeting place: Craigieburn Railway Station
Full moon is on a Friday this month so we will ride from Craigieburn to the City, about 45km via the Merri Creek Path.
Catch the 6:27PM Craigieburn train from Flinders Street (probably platform 5), our end of the train will be towards Elizabeth St.
From Craigieburn Railway Station head north to pick up freeway path towards the City, then Ring Road to Merri Creek trail. Last time we tried this a small group got frozen, but it’s a nice ride in reasonable weather.
There won’t be anywhere to buy food & drink, so stock up during the day and we’ll have a picnic along the way.

Meeting place: Mortuary Train Carriage – Fawkner Memorial Gardens
Cemeteries play an important role in the history, culture and even social life of the local community. Not only are they the last resting place of loved ones, but they are a timeless custodian of our history and our ancestors – filled with the colourful, moving, important and personal stories of those buried there.
Join us on an hour long discovery tour of Fawkner Memorial Park by bike as part of The Great Cemetery Open Day! We’ll discover how Fawkner fits in to the history and development of Melbourne, from its beginnings inspired by the ideal Victorian Railway Cemetery to a modern, and multi-cultural, memorial park, how it has grown and changed to reflect the changes amongst the population living around it, and the changes in their attitudes to death. All while pedalling through peaceful, bike-friendly gardens!
This ride is suitable for beginner riders with basic bike riding skills and will involve riding on quiet sealed roads and gravel paths in a low-traffic environment.

Meeting place: Secret! Register to find out
It’s a scavenger hunt on wheels of sorts, themed on the greatest single day race of them all – Paris Roubaix.
Pronounced ROO-BAY, the Melburn version arms riders with a map, musette and a pen with a challenge of finding cobbled sectors from the East to West, discovering a part of the city rarely seen. Unplanned stops for coffee, stopping to take photos and getting lost are all part of the journey.
There are no prizes for athletic merit as THIS IS NOT A RACE. Prizes for creative expression and pure luck are up for grabs.
Melburn Roobaix is the one day of the year to assemble your friends for an all-day adventure from the south to the north, with some east and west covered along the way. With a musette containing your map, pen and list of tasks it’s up to you how you make your way from one to the other.
