MBTC members and visitors alike are welcome to
Melbourne Bicycle Touring Club
Dandenong Ranges Mountain Bike Ride
Saturday September 25, 2010, Grand Final Day
Ride leader: Tony 'kukamunga'
Belgrave to Bayswater via Sherbrooke Forest, Olinda Arboretum, Kalorama Park, Doongalla Forest and Dandenong Creek
40 kms - 60% unsealed roads and tracks; 20% singletrack (some optional); 10% bike path; 10% bitumen – hard, hilly and scenic. The hardest and steepest climb of the day is very early in the ride – a tough test before some single track and slightly gentler gradients. Good fitness and off-road skills are required
A pre 10.30 start in Belgrave for coffee, finishing at Bayswater around 3:30 pm. Get there by train, or car/train combo. PM me for more detailed train and coffee / start times
BYO off-roadworthy mountain bike with knobby tyres and wide-range gears. Basic tools, spare tube, water bottle and snack food also required. Lunch available at Kalorama – bring cash. Be prepared for cool or wet weather
For more details, please PM me

No, not really, though if I personally get any less fitter and ride off-road any less, I might have to.....Cinder wrote:Any chance you'll be running some beginner intro style rides (for those not quite so fit)???
