26 Australia Day - Special RIde - Anderson to Cowes - start at 10 am NEW DATE - SUNDAY 26TH JAN N/A January 26, 2025 After consideration it has been decided to bring this forward to Sunday 26th Jan, This is because the weather on Monday would be entirely unsuitable for riding. The weather on Sunday is looking perfect with a top temperature in the low 20s. We have now been informed that the Annual Kilcunda Lobster Festival is being held on Sunday. That means that parking in and around Kilcunda will be difficult. The official start for this ride has now been shifted to the Anderson roundabout (just up the hill from Kilcunda). The start time will be 10 am. There are toilets at the car park. If you want to start a little further on, you could join at Lookout Rd at around 10.15 am. Alternatively you could meet us at San Remo (probably around 10.35 am) This ride replaces the regular FTG Monday Morning Ride. More

In return for our participation, they will bribe us with free coffee. The plans are still being finalised, but the start point will be the car park of the new Pakenham Station at 10 am. Please meet there and await further instructions. Apparently we will be filmed and photographed and our progress may even be followed by official drone camera. After the welcome at the start, we will be making our way to Gloria Jeans for our free coffees, before joining the new trail to Koo Wee Rup. Lunch will be at Deganis Cafe in Koo Wee Rup. More
