Today I got up planning to go on a fairly long bike ride to the north of Melbourne, getting some exercise in during the quarantine. But, of course, when I checked the hash in the morning I saw that there was an equally good ride to be had that also included a geohash.
I set off on my dilapidated road bike up along some new-found bike tracks in Melbourne's west, finally being spat out onto the Calder Freeway to ride hash-wards, into the headwind.
It wasn't long before my knees started paining as I'd overdone the exertion in my eagerness to reach the hash - but luckily, a quick fence or two, and I was at the road's closest approach.
From the satellite view it'd looked like the hash lay on a small, dirt road between two farms but on inspection the road was just a windbreak. I disbiked and clambered along the tree-line up the hill, my route threading between the fences of each property.
After 500m I arrived. I took a moment to soak in the view of the distant Melbourne skyline and eat some lunch before heading back down the slope to my bike. I continued north-west to Gisbourne Peak for some research into a future long ride, before circling back a slightly different route and another city-radiating bike path.
