DON’T FORGET - DAYLIGHT SAVING STARTS!!

Millgrove is our start and finish, where there is a choice of food shops to fuel and replenish your energy needs.

Pedalling off at 9:30am, we warm up on the rail trail for 2 kms before gradually climbing to the trail network. After climbing and descending 250 vm on this first section, we hit the main trail head in Wesburn Park, where we can break and have a go on the pump track.

Regaining altitude again along 2kms of the quiet Old Warburton Road, we rejoin the trails around Mount Little Joe, avoiding the higher altitude tracks, before the fun descent in to Warburton, and a break at Cog Bike Cafe.

Again, we climb on a few kms of road and an old walking track, before rejoining the tracks and trails, finishing with a quick, steep descent in to Millgrove.

“The available trails are predominantly categorized ‘green’, however all trails begin with an uphill ride, most suitable for riders who have some mountain bike riding experience.” (https://www.rideyarraranges.com.au/warburton-bike-park/plan-your-trip-2/)
