Ride will not suit inexperienced riders; not recommended for first time Club riders

From Yarra Glen we'll head across to Healesville, over the Black Spur and around to Marysville for morning tea (50 km). Then on to Eildon and down the Torbreck River Road to Jamieson for lunch (104 km) including about 50 km of uninterrupted twisty road. Finally the last 14 km of dirt has been sealed. As it is the school holiday season, look out for 4WDs, deer hunters, and kayakers. Happily, anticipating higher traffic flows, many of the blind corners have had the cuttings widened, improving visibility. After lunch we'll head 62 km back to Eildon for fuel (total 216 km) and then over Skyline through Fraser National Park to Alexandra. On to Molesworth with a smidge of highway to Yarck before more back roads through Gobur, Caveat, Highlands and back to Yea for refreshments (122 km). Finish at Kinglake via Glenburn (50 km).
