A scenic, relaxing ride along the Darebin and Merri Creeks with lunch at the Edwardes Lake Hotel (formerly Zagames).
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Medium, approximately 47 km, circuit cycling, mostly on sealed cycling paths, with minimal hills.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
While waiting for others to arrive, you could get a coffee from Nikos Cafe if you wish. From the meeting point we head to the nearby Darebin Creek Trail and follow that northwards all the way to the Western Ring Road Trail. We take that, heading west, for about 7.5 km to the top of the Merri Creek Path, where we head south as far as the Broadhurst Av exit. Broadhurst Ave and the Edgars Ck Path take us directly to our lunch point, the Edwardes Lake Hotel, 257 Edwardes St, Reservoir, overlooking Edwardes Lake. After lunch we retrace our steps back to the Merri Creek and follow that southwards back to our starting point at Fairfield Station, or to any convenient exit point along the way.
This route gives us lots of options in case of inclement weather, and the final stage of the ride connects with a host of convenient cycling paths and train stations.
