While the Victorian winter weather can be both challenging and difficult to predict, the monthly bike ride in July by the Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail was lucky enough to pick a perfect day to enjoy.

Not only is the ‘Last Wednesday of the Month’ ride a chance for a social gathering while exercising, this particular ride also was lucky enough to have a former Huntly resident Lindsay Clay to inform all who participated about the history of Huntly as well as experiencing some of the surrounding local tracks.

The next Friends monthly ride is planned for 31 August, with details to be forwarded to Friends members. Prospective members are welcomed to join these rides, which are usually planned to be held along local off-road trails and tracks.
