Audrey and Richie organised this ride. It was my first time out in this area - and we all had a great time riding on excellent cycle paths. The total distance was about 42 kms.

A Google Maps GPS plot of the ride can be seen here.

Another page showing an elevation profile and some Google earth images can be found here.

A pdf map of the cycleways can be found here at the Fairfield City Council website
