Almost the whole ride is off-road, taking in the Seaford wetlands and other parks up to Mordialloc, then switching over to the beach path to St Kilda.
Using the protected lanes in Fitzroy St to reach Albert Park Lake, then the mean streets of South Melbourne to get back to the City.

Meeting place: Westgarth Station
The get together is for 2 purposes. The first is to provide information to members on the current Senate Inquiry and the new Victorian Cycling strategy. We have been busy attending hearings and writing submissions to both reviews over the past month and want to let you know what is happening. The second is to observe first hand the utility cycling culture around the Northcote and Fairfield areas
If you are coming from the City by train, take the 9:59AM Hurstbridge train from Flinders Street (platform 1) or 10:02AM from Southern Cross and alight at Westgarth Railway Station.
Our guide will take us on a bike friendly tour around the local shops. We will conclude the ride at Fifteen Pounds cafe in Fairfield with a meeting. At this meeting we will be discussing our strategy for the next year when the outcome of both the Senate Inquiry and the updated Victorian Cycling Strategy will be released.
