Belgrave ride
I heard that there is a good ride along an ex railroad starting from
Belgrave, Melbourne. Does anyone have any info on that? Am considering it as a day trip. Any good pubs at the other end? --- DFM |

Belgrave ride
the bike track stops a Belgrave. Puffing billy takes over and there isn't a
bike track next to the railway line. l rode down it from emerald one time, riding down the sleepers is fun for a little while, but not for long with no FS. I think you mean the Warburton trail, that starts in Lilydale(melways 39 G4). its a nice ride about 40km each way, some long hills but nothing to steep. |

Do you mean the Belgrave rail trail? You can go from Ringwood to Belgrave
and there's a really nice section (from memory - haven't done that run in a couple of years) which goes into a gully in rain forest - really beautiful. -- Alan Erskine alanerskine(at)optusnet.com.au Did John Howard lie to the Australian people?

Belgrave ride
The bridge over Forest Road (between FTG and the highway) was closed when I
went under it a few days ago. Gates at both ends and yellow signs saying it's under repair. "Peter Signorini" wrote in message ... "Joel" wrote in message u... which way...sorry there are a few different ways and i couldnt find one that ended up in Belgrave...can you give me a few pointers? thanks "Peter Signorini" wrote in message ... Pulls out Melways, turns pages 49 J8. Follow the red dotted line. From Bedford Park/Ringwood Lake head SE onto Bedford Rd, go left, then right into Lena Grove which will lead to a path alongside the Belgrave rail line. Go through Heathmont to the H. E. Parker Reserve. Cross the Dandenong Ck at the bridge and turn left. After the tunnel under the rail line turn right and follow the line through Bayswater to Boronia, FTG, Upper FTG, Upwey and on to Belgrave. It's all marked out in the Melways, or alternatively get hold of the little Bike Tracks guidebook (most newsagents have them). Pages from an old Melways in the back pocket are probably your best guide maps. The trail is fairly easy to follow if you keep following the rail line. It crosses sides ocassionally and at times you have to ride some road sections or cross a car park. Have a great ride. Cheers Peter |
