MUAC athlete decides to go for a long solo bike ride ( 200km).

But where to go? Portsea and back ? Whittlesea and Kinglake ?

Don’t be silly.  12 laps of the Kew Boulevard.

Who could it be?

Best wishes for a happy festive season from

Melbourne University Athletics Club.

We hope you have a safe, harmonious and enjoyable holiday.

Most training groups will be continuing as normal over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays so come on out, run off some of that Christmas pudding and start the year off with some good training.
