RIDE DESCRIPTION
From Fed Square, we’ll cross the Yarra to Southbank, and go west to Jeff’s Shed, crossing back over the river to Docklands.
Going north, we’ll see the old and new of the inner west. Across Royal Park, then along the route of the Inner Circle rail line.
After the all-important morning tea (probably at the Park St Cafe, near Nicholson St), we’ll follow Merri Creek, then back to the Yarra.
We will aim for the ride end to be at Kanteen Cafe, which overlooks the Yarra in South Yarra. Have lunch here, and/or ride the 3 km back to Fed Square/Flinders St.
