Med 50km Sat 25 Hurstbridge to Whittlesea Loop This is a ride via the bucolic back roads around the east side of Yan Yean Reservoir. There will be a mix of sealed and unsealed roads. There are a few medium climbs, but nothing to burst your foofer valves. The distance is medium, with all day to do the ride. Expect an early start. There are shops at Whittlesea for those who don’t want to bring lunch. If the weather forecast is too hot I’ll organise an alternate ride.
