Kingsville - Seddon Roubaix, 20 kms (easy, social)

It may be wet tonight but Sunday is looking good.

Maybe you have been to the Laneways Festival in Footscray, now is your chance to cycle them.

Meeting at Footscray railway station, we will be cycling through the laneways of Seddon and Kingsville.

Part of Kingsville is the historic Queensville Estate. Surveyed in the 1880s, her "surviving rear right-of-ways are valuable elements associated with the 19th century night soil collection" (Heritage Victoria).

As seen in the photo, there are a variety of surfaces in the laneways. Thin tyres may be problematic. Unfortunately (maybe fortunately for us) most of the cobblestone is gone.

Once back in Footscray, we will be lunching at Hong Kong BBQ Restaurant, my favourite hanging meat restaurant in Melbourne.
