Sunday 17 October – Spotswood to Flinders Street via Capitol City Trail.
Today you will need to catch the train at 9.26 am from Werribee, 9.36 am from Laverton or 9.42 am from Altona to Spotswood. Once off the train we will ride around Science Works to cross Douglas Parade to the trail and follow the Yarra River to Footscray, over Shepherd’s Bridge to the Docklands. Crossing Footscray Road we will be on the Capitol City Trail, following this trail will see us at Flinders Street station for a return trip home. There are a few “jump off” points along this ride for anyone not wishing to ride the full length of approximately 35 kms. As always we will stop for lunch along the way, possibly at the Collingwood Children’s Farm.

Sunday 24 October - “Pedals on the Path”
“Pedals on the Path” is a youth training program to bring together youth in Hobsons Bay, to promote a healthy lifestyle and raise money to assist youth in the western suburbs, http://www.westernchances.org.au/ .
This is a yearly event and we will join this event as our planned ride to act as ride leaders and marshals if they have enough leaders. You can find out more about “Pedals on the Path” at http://pedalsonthepath.com .
It would great to get all members along on the day. A BBQ and registration is at 12.00 noon and at 1.15 pm the event starts with a 10 km & 22 km bike ride, 6 km walk and a 10 km run starting at Cresser reserve Altona Melway ref: map 55 A11. BBQ lunch and drinks can be purchased from 12.00 noon. If you are a marshal, it would probably be easier to ride to your marshalling point as all events follow the shared trail, both east and west of the start point.
If your family would like to participate in the ride, walk or run you can download an application form from the website.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you are able to assist and I will pass this on.
