A cruisy trundle along the Maribyrnong River from Footscray, you'll pedal along a mix of sealed bike paths with a couple of gravel sections to keep you entertained along the way. There's a little pinch about halfway along to keep you on your toes, so watch out.
The Maribyrnong River was one of the early commercial rivers, supplying all the gunpowder to the colony of Victoria in the 1800s. Previously is was a warehousing district with tanneries, abattoirs, and other heavy industries.
