Rides and events from 9th June 2015
Here is your list of Bike Fun events and more. Love to see you on a ride soon! Bike Fun rides mostly go at a social pace, Some rides are off-road recreational, some are on-road mini-masses. Food and moderate alcohol consumption are often featured. We also list rides organised by others, usually with a link to their website.

Continuing our highly enjoyable series of Moreland BUG Wednesday rides we will have a leisurely ride taking in the delights of mysterious Craigieburn. We will head north up the Upfield Path, east along the Ring Road and north along the Galada Tamboore Pathway (or Craigieburn Bypass Trail). We will then return via Roxburgh Park with optional return by train if anyone needs to get home early.
Bring bike, sunscreen, wet weather gear, water, MYKI, snacks, lunch (and/or money).
Pace will be leisurely depending on requirements of the group.
Text me or reply to this message if you are interested.

Time: 9:00 am
Finish: 5:00 pm
Meeting place: To be confirmed
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.
