Sunday 17 January 2010.
NOTE - 9.00 a.m. start.
For our first ride for 2010 we will meet at Altona Pier to leave at 9.00 a.m., we’ll ride along the BayWest Trail stopping in at Seddon for a late breakfast or a very early lunch.
It will be about 20 km’s to Seddon, so for all those who have had too much to eat over the past few weeks and have not been on their bike, this should be easy. With the hot days now here, we will leave early to try and beat the heat. If anyone doesn’t wish to ride back to Altona, we can jump on a Metro train at Seddon station.
