Fed Square to Ruffey Lake Park (55 km loop) - Mostly paths. Some hills.

Here's a fun ride we did last May so how about repeating it and clockwise this time. (ie Lunch will be before we get to Ruffey Lake ).
Let's do it again on Tuesday on a warm and sunny day.

Ride: A loop from the Melissa Cakes Cafe in Templestowe for lunch (or bring it) and a visit to Ruffey Lake Park before returning to town via Koonung Trail. This ride does include some hills so not suitable for beginners, thanks.

Forecast: 27°C. Partly cloudy. Winds north to northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h turning west to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h later.
