Today’s ride will begin at Craigieburn Metro station where you will catch the 0855 Flinders St and ride it to Jacana, the fourth stop. Here you will hop off the train and Eadaoin will lead you down the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail to the Boeing Reserve. Rather than going straight into town via the Moonee Ponds Creek path, Eadaoin will lead you further west into Airport West to pick up a couple of local paths including the Steele Creek Trail which will take you all the way to the Maribyrnong Trail. You will follow the Maribyrnong Trail to the Angliss Stock Bridge where you will cross the river and make your way up through the Kensington Saleyards estate to Newmarket Station where you will catch the “silver limo” back to Craigieburn (after refreshments of course!).
While the route as described is 35km long, don’t let this discourage you from coming – the riding is mostly downhill and you will have an optional stop for a coffee and a spell at about the half-way point or else you can continue and finish at Newmarket for lunch.
Don’t forget to bring your Myki for the train trips and your bike lock to ensure your bike is still where you parked it after lunch..
All sealed surfaces so suitable for all bicycle types.
