Saturday ride to a brewery to say Thank You to ride leaders. Social, 31 km.

This ride is about saying Thank You to ride leaders.
Putting together a day ride can be daunting enough but putting together a weekend or long weekend ride can be an awful a lot of work especially when extreme weather conditions and V-Line train cancellations can be, quite frankly, quite unhelpful.
When you RSVP for this ride see if your favorite ride leader has RSVP-ed.
If they haven’t, send them a note, a congrats and saying that we all want them to come along so that we can all thank them.
We’ll depart Rushall Station, the capital city trail to Swanston then St Kilda Road.
Cut across Fawkner Park to coffee and yummy stuff at Prahran Market.
Then north via the Yarra Trail to Moon Dog Brewery for lunch and a drink.
There is a contingency plan, in case we’re ambushed by perfect sunny weather, (LOL), to buy lunch at Prahran Market and have lunch in the park, maybe at Flockhart or Dickinson Reserve near Moon Dog, Abbottsford.
