Several members were busy riding the Ballarat BAD ride, so an easier home ride was chosen for Cycling Geelong members.
Helen led David J and Barbara a circuit ride to the north south and west of Geelong.

After following the coast north to the Grammar School, the ride headed west for the Ted Wilson Trail. It is noted that this trail is still closed at the southern end (more than 8 weeks after the re-opening date shown on the road work sign).
Still closed on Friday May 12th.
After a fast descent of Hyland Street, the riders followed the Barwon Trail to Highton, for an enjoyable coffee break, with Nancy at Two Sugars.
The ride resumed along Bellevue Avenue and Waurn Ponds, following the final section of the Ted Wilson Trail from Waurn Ponds to Hams Road. The return was via Heyers Road, Bailey Street, Barwon River Trail, Swanston Street and the waterfront.
Thanks to all riders for an enjoyable morning’s ride.
If you cycled the BAD ride, we’d love to have your personal story and photos to publish on our website.
You might have to edit this Dirk did the BAD ride in Ballarat and didn’t ride with us in Geelong.
