Hey cats and kittens,
A reminder that there is the Bike Path Discovery Day next Sunday 7th May being run by BV. I will be dragging Euan along and hope to see some of you there! Tell your family, friends and work colleagues.
Anyone else going?
Some snippage:
The cycling escapade takes in Bay Trail, Gardiners Creek/Scotchmans Creek Trail, Main Yarra Trail and Maribyrnong River Trail. The exploring ends with music, a dance show and Le Bop dance lesson, free yoga lessons, shiatsu demonstrations, baked hot potatoes, wood fire pizza’s, refreshments and cycling information, at Birrarung Marr.
Riders will be invited to commence their journey between 9am and midday. They will be welcome to join the path at any point, however by starting at one of the official locations, you will be given a complimentary map of Melbourne's bike path network and go into the draw to one on of many spot prizes, drawn at the final destination of Birrarung Marr.
