Thanks to Allan Marshall for this report.  The Northern Circuit ride was led by Kelly Rowe.

Today’s ride was 85 km. There were 5 riders George Belcher, Russ Ison, Rick Diamond, Kelly Rowe and I. We Started at the Leisure Time Centre at 8 am went to Bacchus Marsh then Windermere then Forest North to Branch then Ridley to Bacchus Marsh Rd & along Granite Rd to the Anakie store,then back along Anakie Rd to the start. Most of us were a bit tired as the wind was in our face for most part of the ride.
