• Day 1: A hard day with steep hills at the beginning but more rolling hills towards the end. All bitumen to get to the head of the rail trail. More to see here
• Day 2: A challenging but enjoyable gravel section. The weather was kind. No wind and cool. More to see here
• Day 3: Another challenging day – this time due to a strong head wind. But still enjoyable as the group becomes more familiar with each other and with the necessity to ride in a pack the banter has gone up a notch. More to see here
• Day 4: Another great riding day – a little damp at times but not enough to need waterproof trousers. A technically challenging section just before Yarraman finished off with a spectacular 15km downhill section into Linville. See here for more detail
• Day 5: Another great day – a few showers but nothing too uncomfortable. Shorter length than normal but with a couple of punctures (one before we set off) almost the same time on the trail as other rides to complete. Lovely scenery and a great lunch stop. For more information see here
• Day 6: The last day and everyone was still fit. Longest ride of the tour and we started at 8am. Weather was kind no showers and pleasantly warm in the middle of the day. A good end to great tour. For more detail see here
