Distance one way was 31.3km but can someone check where to cross the yarra in the city and also the route to the water? I'm not sure if the Spencer St bridge is ok for bikes or if Bay St is the most convenient either.
The finish I have set is Tour de Cafe for a coffee in mordialloc, is this ok with everyone else?
Feel free to have a play with the route (click n drag blue line to alter it) and submit it til we can all decide
Cheers,
Spudley.

Friday: Morning clouds – Wind 8 km/h NE – No rain – Temperature 3 min. 15 max.
Sunday: Light rain early – Wind 10 km/h NNW – Rain 35% - Temperature 9 min. 14 max.
Friday certainly looks the better day for a ride.

Forecast for Sunday
Cloudy. Isolated showers until evening. Winds north to northwesterly averaging up to 40 km/h becoming northwesterly up to 25 km/h later in the evening.
I never have worked out what 'isolated showes' means...sometimes it pours all day and sometimes i dont see a thing....

Hi RobRollin,RobRollin wrote:Looking for a ride on Friday morning somewhere.
You will have to ask Missy what the best way is to get across from Brunswick to the Yarra Boulevard, as this is possibly the best area for you to go and ride Friday morning with a coffee at the Boathouse after the ride to fortify you for the ride back to Brunswick.
