What a great adventure we have planned for you – We are off to explore the Eastlink and Dandenong Creek Trails!
The MP ride is starting from Heatherdale Station & finishing at Carrum Station on Trails for 40km.
The ride will start by catching the train to Heatherdale Station where we will meet at 9:30am.
The train departs Gardenvale Station at 8:41am & reaches Richmond at 8:56am. Take the Belgrave line (usually Platform 9 at 9:00am) to arrive at Heatherdale Station at 9:29am (correct as at 12/10/2017).
The train departs the following stations as follows:
Mordialloc 8:19am
Parkdale 8:22am
Mentone 8:24am
Cheltenham 8:27am
Highett 8:31am
Riders should hop in the last carriage or any carriage with the yellow marks indicating it is a driver carriage (except the front carriage), these carriages have the fold down seats and have more room for bikes.
I’ll be taking a coffee on the train ride so that I’ll be caffeined up and ready to go when we meet at Heatherdale Station.
From Heatherdale Station, we will join the Eastlink Trail & follow this to the Dandenong Creek Trail to Carrum. See Strava route here:
https://www.strava.com/routes/10867843Some of the paths are gravel so I will be taking my flat bar Hybrid for this ride.
Remember to bring your MYKI Card & LBOYB ID card (if you don’t have one yet then ask the Ride Leader for one).
Also bring a spare tube and tyre levers just in case.
