ADV Ride starting at Mernda Mc Donalds 8.00 AM Sharp, heading all the back roads via Kinglake, Marginal Rd, Alex, Snobs Creek, Jamo, Goughs Bay, Mansfield !! Then back to melbourne.
All size Bikes are ok, and probably do around 450-500 K's for the Day.

Another great ride organised and led by Peter. A great mix of roads and tracks. Outstanding views from the top of the Paps! A long day but some terrific riding. 478km door to door for me. Glad I made the effort at the last minute to join this ride. Thanks Peter.

 The track from the Hwy to the top is a government road. Through the gate and an open paddock to the base of the hill and then you winding track around the back of the hill and up to the top.

With the water levels in Eildon at the moment it would be a great view.
