We ride at the speed limit and we give each other space and we all ride our own ride. Save the speed and adrenalin for the track. No rev bombing, wheelies or riding that attracts the wrong kind of attention. * All riders must have their own navigation. In case we get separated, meet at the next destination. * If all riders have Cardo Mesh intercoms, we'll use that * If some riders have Bluetooth headsets, we can connect using Discord. Please setup an account beforehand. If you don't have a bike, but have a nice car, feel free to join us at the destinations. The ride will be subject to weather conditions. The forecast for Sunday is currently looking good. **What to bring/check:** * Riding gear - all the gear, all the time * Charge your blue-tooth headsets * Phone mount for navigation * Check your tyre pressures **MEETING LOCATION** Coco Moon Cafe, 166 Yarra St, Warrandyte VIC 3113. https://maps.app.goo.gl/3wR9z4m2h7wxix1T8 **LIABILITY WAVER** The organiser of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury or accidents to participants or their property on this event.

Hike: Halloween 🎃 9.8 km Flying Fox Loop + Picnic

Hike: Halloween 🎃 9.8 km Flying Fox Loop + Picnic

Sat, Oct 31, 5:45 AM
From Mix Fit Socials - Melbourne
4.9

* Can't deal with big crowds at the city social Halloween celebrations? * Can't face trying to be cheery at the Halloween parties after a really shite week at work and need a nature fix? 🤔 * Not looking forward to pretending not to be home when trick or treaters knock on your door and the closest you have to a treat are 1 year old CLIF Bars 🧗 you got from the last Banff Film Fesitval? If any of the above resonate with you, then come celebrate Halloween with a walk around the Main Yarra Trail looping through Fairfield Boat House and visiting the Flying Fox colony along the Yarra River and finishing back where we started at Studley Park Boathouse. The circuit is 9.8km long over paved trail or easy dirt trails along the river. Once we get back to Studley Park Picnic area, we'll find a table and grab our picnic food from the cars and have snacks and drinks and wait for the flying foxes to take off overhead to complete our Halloween Evening. Fingers crossed for clear warm weather. I'll be aiming for a brisk pace (10 min/km, 6km/h) on the paved sections, and slowing during the scenic sections. I will adjust to suit the terrain, but be prepared to put in a bit of effort to work up an appetite so you can indulge in a treat at the end! Dressing up is optional. Wear something in theme if you have it. **What to bring:** * Sense of humour * Positive attitude * Adventurous spirit (AKA a tolerance for a lot of crap going wrong) * Picnic food for after the walk. Enough for yourself + a little to share but not too much. * Warm clothing for after the walk if necessary **MEETING LOCATION** Meet at the Yarra Bend Park Walk Meeting point, right next to the carpark for Studley Park Boathouse. Meet at 4:45pm for a prompt 5:00pm start. https://maps.app.goo.gl/m8jAETTK6WnVGYGt8 **LIABILITY WAVER** The organiser of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury or accidents to participants or their property on this event. By participating in this event, you're taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being. By joining this event you agree to these terms.
