11:00AM Hurstbridge train station. This ride is a grand tour of the beautiful countryside nestled just below the Kinglake Ranges. The route is about 80% dirt roads of generally high quality. You can expect corrugations, potholes and loose gravel sections. The country around here is mostly hilly - you can expect many short climbs followed by fast flowing descents.
