Future rides: Explore Woodlands Historical Park - Somerton

Date: Sunday 5th Feb 2012

Time 1000 am

Start: Caltex Servo, cnr Western Ring Rd, Sunshine Ave, Kealba, Melways 26 H2

Distance: 22 klms to Woodlands Park (Northern end) Melways 178 B6. Return trip approx 50 klms

Suits: Adults, any maintained bike (see note below)

Cost: Free, BYO nibbles, lunch, NB All rubbish must be taken out of Woodlands park please.

NOTE: Most riding in Woodlands Park is on gravel trails - Care is needed if riding a road bike.

Description: Meeting at the Caltex servo it is an easy cycle along the Western Ring Road path to Gowanbrae where we’ll cross over the Ring Road and head down to the Jacana Wetlands and in to Westmeadows. A few short streets later we join and follow the Moonee Ponds Creek path in to the southern end of Woodlands Historical Park and heritage Homestead site. Lots of paths to explore and a viewing point to the end of the airport runways for that extra thrill of planes taking off. Return trip is a slightly different route - planning to bypass that steep hill out of Jacana wetlands. Coffee, nibbles in the Woodlands Park cafe OR Westmeadows area (cafe).
