We're going to Bonnie Doon!

This trip is for those who are fans of the classic lakeside holiday destination Bonnie Doon and are keen to ride long distances along rail-trails.

This trip aims to cover approximately 350km in 2 Days!

Following largely following The Great Central Gravel Grind route in reverse, the plan is to catch a train to Tallarook (potentially Friday evening) and ride the Great Victorian Rail Trail out to Bonnie Doon and Lake Eildon, before looping back to Melbourne via the Yarra Ranges.

This route while mostly on flat well made gravel trails and back roads, does encounter some hills as you leave Lake Eildon and ride toward Lake Mountain . 

The final route will likely change, however the following provides a fantastic starting point
