Leave the office at 5:00pm and be back in time for work at 9:00am the next morning.
What's the catch? There is none. Just clock off from work, ride from wherever you are and we will converge somewhere along the way — really depends on the vibe — maybe a pub, maybe a servo, hopefully the campsite.
This is a self supported journey. You're welcome to organise to meet/ride with other people on the ride but this is optional. We'll all (hopefully) end up at the same camp. Individuals who want to take their time are welcome to leave earlier and make a proper day out of the trip.
Create your own route:
Destination: Wesburn Camp (25 Madeley Drive, Wesburn, VIC, 3799)
Suggested Outbound Journey: CBD → Wesburn Camp (via endless possibilities)
Distance: > 35km (if you caught the train to Lilydale)
Elevation Gain: ~
Estimated Ride Time: maybe less maybe more, you can figure it out
Surface: Mix of sealed roads and gravel trails
Route Breakdown:
Enjoy a moonlit ride to Wesburn Recreation Camp where we will book Cabins ($27.50pp) which will remove the need for a tent/sleeping mat (will still need to bring a sleeping bag, warm clothes, rainwear).
Suggested Inbound Options
Option 1: Ride Back via Lilydale (~35 km): Depart early and ride to Lilydale Station to catch a train back to the CBD.
Option 2: Ride all the way back to the office (~85km)
Please note: In Melbourne, Cars own the roads. High visibility is crucial - Bright Lights (ie high lumens) and Reflectives are all necessary and still sometimes not enough. Riding defensively and pairing up is encouraged.
