Cumulative Distance Where Notes Direction Elevation
0km 0km Lilydale Maurie's ride to Nagambie. 15 bikes, wet weather gear for potentially damp conditions. S 180° 0m
5.6km 5.6km Coldstream Head straight up the Melba Hwy. to Yarra Glen. NNE 0m
13.6km 8km Yarra Glen Past Yarra Glen to the old Healsville Rd. NNE 18° 73m
27.5km 13.9km Healesville As we head towards the Toolangi forest, we see showers draping the hills ahead. NNE 0m
73.9km 46.4km Glenburn to Broadford Maurie says "don't let me hold you up". Some of us go on ahead in the drizzle to see how fast you need to go so that you don't get wet. It didn't work. We got wet. But it was fun. Some people turn back to warmer environs. NW 297° 379m
120.1km 46.2km Broadford We stop in Broadford for morning tea and a pit stop. Our fearless ride leader asks who wants to take the short way to Nagambie. There are no takers, so we go the long way via Heathcote. The drizzle clears and we see some sun for the first time. WNW 270° 0m
171.8km 51.7km Heathcote to Nagambie Nice road here to give the bike an "Italian tune-up". (That means burning the gunk out) NE 24° 0m
208.4km 36.6km Nagambie Great and cheap lunch (seniors' special) at the hotel overlooking the lake. Huge wind blowing whitecaps: and we're eating outside. Anyway, a good time was had by all. Some took the twisty roads home and others just cruised down the highway back to Melbourne. NNW 348° 131m
