12 cyclists met at Westmeadows Bakery at 9:00 am. We left and made good time down the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail to the Western Ring Rd. The hill up to Gowanbrae commenced here and sorted the fit and experienced cyclists from the not so fit and experienced. After a wait at the top to regroup, we continued along the Western Ring Rd Path towards Keilor. We regrouped again at Keilor Park Drive and crossed over to the Park. At the start of the downhill section, Dennis received a puncture - so close to the destination! He was able to carefully ride on it for the last few hundred metres to the cafe with a small team of cyclists, while the majority rode on the path down to the river and very speedily made their way to the cafe.
Dennis, with the help or hindrance of his "support crew", was able to repair his punctured tube. Everybody enjoyed the break to catch up and chat over a cuppa. Other cyclists also arrived at this time.
The blog author had to depart at this time, and the main group with the ride leader also departed. It was an enjoyable ride for everybody, though some riders appeared to struggle with the distance. Never mind, keep riding with HumeBUG and gain fitness and experience! It was fun riding with you all.
