| 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 | Not too hard but with more not so steep climbs except the one behind Monbulk (look for the heart). A longer ride than ride #1 & #2 but keeps all the scenery, It is very easy to miss the sharp dangerous corner at "The Patch" (Look for the skill & cross bones). | |
If you are having trouble lining up maps, you will find they overlap each other a little.
