With the winter season approaching, members of the Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail enjoyed mild conditions to ride through the Wellsford Forest.

With the Forest Gallery being the destination for the group’s regular “Last Wednesday of the month” group ride for April, a coffee break was on the minds of the riders. The forest was very picturesque, with the lush green forest floor and sun streaming through the trees.

Coffee and cake was greatly appreciated at the Forest Gallery, with artist Terry Jarvis and writer Michelle being the hosts.

The route along forest tracks was navigated by member Lindsay Clay, who knows the area very well, and this was really appreciated by the group. The autumn colours through the forest and in the beautiful garden at the gallery were stunning.
