Ride on 17/1/2020
An excellent ride today! Great company, the winds were fairly kind to us, and the Maribyrnong River was a treat to ride alongside. Ten of us met at North Carlton Railway Neighbourhood House. Three more joined us at Costco, then rode along Footscray Road. With a tail wind, this sometimes pesky road was a breeze...excuse the terrible pun.
We rode on to the Maribyrnong River left bank trail and enjoyed the riverside scenery until we reached the Boathouse Café. With a long table on the deck and a view over the river, it was the perfect spot for coffee/lunch.
Rodney suggested we rode another kilometre up the river, which was a great way of enjoying some extra river scenes. We rode back along the river to the old saleyards and then to the Capital City Trail. Five riders headed back to Costco, and the rest of us rode back towards the Neighbourhood House.
