A great back lane route that plenty of Melbourne cyclist use as part of their weekly training runs, or for a gateway to the North-Eastern hills. There are some undulating punchy climbs thrown in, and you need to stay aware on the mini descents into the sweeping corners.

Suddenly you've left the 'burbs and you're in the country. Fields on either side and a beautiful, sweeping descent which leads you into Warrandyte State Park.
