Action on Melbourne Bike Trail Ride
Just got back from Melbourne recently after spending two days riding one of the major bike trails there. The Capital City Trail. The official distance is 39km, but after taking a few wrong paths I’m sure I rode more like 50kms. But don’t worry about taking those wrong forks in the trail as my review will show you exactly where to go. In a nice way of course.
The Capital City Trail also displayed some “Underbelly” action from day one.
As soon as I arrived at the Southbank end of the trail, about a dozen burly Crown Casino security guards in black suits were ejecting a very angry Irishman. Then further up Southbank under the bridge was flashing police lights and heaps of people watching a local film production being shot. And who would happen to be one of the actors dressed up as a Victorian cop? Underbelly’s start cop Roger Crosser. Shame I didn’t get a decent pic of him. But got some good shots of the outdoor television shoot.
But I had to ride on as it was already after midday and I had still nearly 39kms to go on this long meandering bike trail. Read more when the review is up later this week. Just after I sort out how best to display all the neat tricks with Google Maps. I’m sure it will be useful for your next bike ride in Melbourne.
