I'm in Bulleen so a Templestowe start/finish sounds good to
me, but I'm pretty slow and would only be able to fit it in
occasionally depending on family commitments (maybe every
couple of weeks). But I like the sound of that. Especially
seeing I was considering a ride out to Whittlesea but your
route sounds much better. DaveB

Im way bored with Beach Rd and heading north appeals as East is just too crappy in my area (North Boring, I mean Balwyn)

I'll be there, I've gotta luv that starting point, I'll be
able to leave home at 7:13am. Meet on that bit of nature
reserve on the north-west of the intersection.

After all my big words 'her-indoors' informs me we're off to RedHill on Saturday, so looks like Im riding there on Saturday morning after all!
Anyone up for it?
It aint that bad if you avoid Whites Road and go the 'back way'
(go along whatever that main road with bike lane is whilst heading west, turn left onto RedHill turnoff, White Rd, and take immediate left again rather than the long hard and dangerous, Wh Rd)
just gotta remember to eat before hand. was 'bonking real bad when i did it last time about 6 weeks ago!
