The Warburton Trail is great.

When I was living at the back of Cadel Evans Mum’s place in Arthurs Creek, used to see him regularly drive the whole Hurstbridge, Kangaroo ground, Kinglake roads.

Managed to ride it in one afternoon but the 39km ride might have ended up a 50km ride. As it was hard at times to figure out which side of the Yarra I should be on. So there was a bit of back tracking. When I finish the review and maps I will post it on my site. Hopefully that will be helpful to some riders. Especially tourists to Melbourne like me.

I guess it's just a question of whether it's a bike shop with a sideline in coffee, or a café that does bike repairs. Or maybe it's both equally? I really <em>must</em> get up there sometime soon.</p> Yeah, I’d forgotten the bike shop and repair business at Cogs.

I like to stop at it going and coming.</p> Cogs Cafe not only has good coffee and muffins but also is a real bike repair shop with accessories for sale at prices that are cheaper than most City bikeshops.
