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.

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.

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
