Eltham

It's both Summer and Midsumma and though this ride isn't an official part of the festival we're running a ride that's becoming a Midsumma/Summer tradition with Bent Kranks, Eltham via the Yarra Trail.  Anyone is welcome. As always you can ride to Eltham and after lunch decide if you want to do the return journey by bike or take a one way ticket for the train.

For those with mountain bikes there is also the option of doing some single-track on the return journey.

Count bike riders and raise money for Bent Kranks!

Bicycle Victoria is keen to hear from available people who would like to 'count bike riders', for the project known as Super Tuesday. All counters will receive a free t-shirt by registering and as a bonus will earn $50 for a Bicycle Victoria listed cycling club nominated as a supporter organisation. I heartily recommend Bent Kranks.
