Lilydale to Carrum on the paths and cycling back to Melb on road (96km)

A midweek ride via various paths and roads from Lilydale to Carrum and from Carrum to the City via Nepean and Beach Rds.

Note: Some of this route is on light gravel paths (Lilydale topping). Okay for road bikes, though.

You could get the train back to town from Carrum, etc, if you wanted to reduce the distance after 55km of 96km although SW winds should help on the Carrum - City section.

Getting there: 9:07 Flinders St train arrives Lilydale 10:03
We usually travel in the last carriage if that suits you.
