NOTE: Due to the tree, road and power damage up in the ranges around Melbourne Kate has delayed the ride until Sunday 27th June.
Meeting place: BP Service Station, Corner of Wellington Rd & Springvale Rd, Mulgrave
After the storms which swept through Outer Melbourne and the South East Region, Emergency authorities have advised for everyone to continue to stay away from affected areas as many roads remain unsafe, and the clean-up from fallen trees, power lines and debris across roadways remains ongoing.
Due to this advice, Kate will now lead her ride from the departure point until morning tea, then the ride will continue as a “Relay Ride” style from there. The lunch stop will be as per previous Relay Rides, where the Ride Leader at the time around mid-day (or near as) will declare the lunch stop of their choosing.
The weather forecast for Melbourne tomorrow is: Melbourne area
Cloudy. High (80%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon. Winds northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h tending northwest to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the morning then becoming light in the early afternoon. Temp Max: 15, so rug up and wear wet weather gear.
Our thoughts continue with those communities affected by the recent storms and subsequent damage who are still suffering power outages as clean up continues through the region.
Ride leader: Kate
