| Access | Suburban train goes right to the start at Belgrave station if you do not have a car plus there is ample parking on Bayview Rd next to the fire station (where the P symbol is on the map) | |
| Approximate distance of start from Melbourne | 35km | |
| Notes | This is a good circuit if you do not have much time. In the morning the traffic is against you on the climb and with you on the downhill, this makes it safer t ride in the mornings. The Grantella Rd section from Herman's Corner to Kallista has very little track. Great scenery and numbered #1 for a good reason. My brother and I often rode this loop after school and I am still not sick of it. | |
