Expedition

I decided to spend Monday doing a long bike ride out north somewhere. Happily, there was a geohash not too far from my intended route. I took the train to Craigieburn and started heading east towards Yan Yean Reservoir. However, when I arrived along the unsealed road bordering the catchment area there was no public access - predictable, I guess, knowing Melbourne Water.

I took some photos and continued my bike ride, which went around the reservoir, close to Whittlesea, up to Kinglake, down to Healesville, then up Mt Donna Buang, the latter of which really tried my road bike as it was a steep, gravel track up to the summit, partly submerged in snow.

After the sun set I flew down the mountain to Warburton then took the rail trail to Lilydale and the train home, arriving at about 9:30pm after 185kms.

Here is the route of my trip.
