Freestyle Cyclists tour

Start: Sat, 30 May 2015
Time: 11:00 am
Finish: Sun, 31 May 2015 5:00 pm
Meeting place: Lilydale Railway Station

Details
Week-end ride from Lilydale Railway station to Warburton with the return ride on the next day. Us freestylers won’t be wearing helmets, but it’s optional, wear one if you like.
There are a few accommodation options, e.g.  http://www.oscarsontheyarra.com.au/
We anticipate starting the ride at about 11.00 at Lilydale station on the Saturday and a similar start time at Warburton on the Sunday.
The ride is 39 km each way with not too many steep sections. I’m guessing it would be about 4 hours riding at our leisurely pace, with stops for lunch and drinks and points of interest.
Please RSVP and let me know if you need any more information or help with accommodation.

Melburn Roobaix 10th Anniversary
Cobbles

Start: Sun, 28 Jun 2015
Time: 9:00 am
Finish: 5:00 pm
Meeting place: To be confirmed

Details

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.
