A gentle, relaxing cycle ride through Southbank, South Melbourne, Middle Park and Albert Park.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Moderate, approximately 28 km, cycling circuit. This will be a scenic, social ride for those who like to take in the sights and have a chat along the way.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
Departing from Southern Cross Station we head along Collins St West to join up with the Capital City Trail. We head south on that to cross the Yarra via Webb Bridge, onto the Yarra Edge waterside promenade. We'll stop for a coffee (optional) at Hooks at the Yarra, 50 River Esplanade, Docklands, which has plenty of bike parking and outdoor seating.
Upon departing from the cafe, we continue along the waterfront promenade to the end of the path, which connects with Lorimer Street to head west and eventually join the nature trail under Westgate Bridge, which we follow around to Sandridge Beach. Continuing along the Beaconsfield Parade cycling path we cut inland to the Middle Park Hotel, 102 Canterbury Rd, Middle Park for lunch.
After lunch we'll cycle around Albert Park Lake then cross Queens Rd, pass by the Albert Cricket Ground and follow Commercial Rd briefly to get to Fawkner Park. We cycle all the way through Fawkner Park to connect to the Botanical Gardens via Marne St. We cycle beside the gardens along Anderson St, cross the Yarra via the Morell Bridge and return to Federation Square via the Capital City Trail. From there you can catch a train, or alternatively follow the Capital City Trail in either direction to return homeward via any of the routes linking to that.
