East Hume Loop Ride 19/09/2010

5 riders met at Grand Boulevard General Store and Cafe in Craigieburn for the ride along the Galada Tamboore Path (Hume Fwy). We stopped near the Whittlesea Public Gardens to look at the new path and bridge works along the Merri Creek. We continued riding, and again stopped, this time at the Upfield Railway Crossing of the Ring Rd Path, to discuss the planned extension of the Upfield Bike Path. We arrived at Westmeadows, where it was discovered an sms had been sent from someone who had arrived late (very late) to the start.

After a cuppa at Westmeadows Bakery, the group separated, with only two cyclists continuing back to Craigieburn. They rode along the Attwood Creek Path, onto Erinbank Crescent to the Broadmeadows Valley Path. They arrived at Craigieburn with the whole day still ahead of them, or so it felt. So, they decided to do a little more riding, then parted.

An enjoyable day. Check out the maps on our Ride With GPS profile at http://ridewithgps.com/trips/107302 and http://ridewithgps.com/trips/107300.
