| Cafe on route | Yes, a great one in Emerald but the ride is too short to stop. | |
| 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 | What I like most about this ride is there are no lights or right hand turns and it is a complete loop so wind and wet roads etc. will not affect your time, I use it as a fitness check. It has no real difficult sections and is a pleasure to ride, great for beginners. Time yourself and check your improvement every 3 months. I want to know about it if you can break 50mins, we never have been able to crack below 51:45. | |
If you are having trouble lining up maps, you will find they overlap each other a little.
