Bunch ride

tonykara said:

my week end ride is Templestowe-Panton Hill-Heidelberg-BoxHill-
Templestowe. my mates are all beach road buffs and wont
venture inland beacause its too hilly.....SOFT......so im
looking for riders keen to join in.

I'm in Bulleen so a Templestowe start/finish sounds good to
me, but I'm pretty slow and would only be able to fit it in
occasionally depending on family commitments (maybe every
couple of weeks). But I like the sound of that. Especially
seeing I was considering a ride out to Whittlesea but your
route sounds much better. DaveB

reserve on the north-west of the intersection.

It aint that bad if you avoid Whites Road and go the 'back way'

(go along whatever that main road with bike lane is whilst heading west, turn left onto RedHill turnoff, White Rd, and take immediate left again rather than the long hard and dangerous, Wh Rd)

just gotta remember to eat before hand. was 'bonking real bad when i did it last time about 6 weeks ago!

That sounds like a good ride. How far is it?

I live in Lower Templestowe so that suits me fine.

Unfortunately I'm out of action for the next seeks weeks or so due to a riding accident so I'll hopefully join you guys for a ride if it becomes a regular thing.
