Continuing a recent streak of successful hashes in Victoria, and particularly inspired by an effort of Stevage at the start of the streak, I headed off on the train from Heidelberg station with my four year old son Max and our cargo bike. The trip to Epping station was fairly uneventful, though we did take a bike short cut from Westgarth to Merri station. At Epping station we were met with a strong northerly head wind. We took the Darebin Creek and Findons Creek West Branch bike paths to Bindts Rd. The paths were suprisingly pleasant, meandering through modern housing estates and following the picturesque creeks. At Bindts Rd we found several road closures that were not marked on Google maps, but fortunately they did not take much effort to bypass. Bindts Rd quickly became unsealed and corrugated as we left the last of the housing estates. Bridge Inn road was busy with trucks, so we rode the 400m as fast as we could to the hash point at the side of the road. Fortunately there was just enough shoulder on the road to stay safe, but the traffic made it very unpleasant so we quickly took a photo snap and headed back to Bindts Rd.
