Where to ride from melbourne

Looking at heading out tomorrow for a bit of twisty road action.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to go with the least amount of
leaf crap on the road/ Good quality road.

Is the Reefton Spur still good this time of year?

 

Not a chance. This is Melbourne. We have these ... trees and stuff.

Excellent. Just got back. Nice up to Cumberland Junction, from
there to the Lake Mountain turnoff the road was damp and slippery
and lots of bark. Pretty dang cold for that bit too. Take it easy.

Police making their presence felt around Kinglake, BTW.

woof woof!

 

I remember ... been through there a few times. The original
poster seemed to be worried about leaves, though, so I thought
I'd better mention it ...

Mt Buller shit hot last weekend and Mansfield -Whitfield was bloody good
too, the police are heavey everywhere at the moment. Even the coppers at
Woods Point and Jamieson were on booze bus duties tooooooooooooooooo.

Arthur's Seat is ok if you don't mind a 2 hour round trip for about 2
whole k's of nice windy bits... Although you can go up and down those
windy bits all day if you like. I did it Sunday, went up and down for
45 minutes, giggling as I passed the same 4 or 5 bikers each time as
they did the same thing.

Nice views though.

 

You really got to get a map of Victoria with roads other than the freeways
drawn on it.

Agreed, that Melbourne Uni site is not bad at all, I've used it a few
times to find good roads around the place.

You could also pick up a copy of the Hema Motorcycle Atlas of
Australia, that's pretty good although the maps are very small. Pete
Thoeming, the main bloke behind Australian roadrider magazine, has
marked out his 50 favourite rides around Australia, a good few of which
are within reach of a Melbourne weekend trip.

I have to say though, the best way to find great roads is to ride with
grizzled old bikers who have been everywhere before and know a dozen
stories about every town.

 

Who's he calling grizzled, Moike!?

 

If anyone here IS grizzled, put yer hand up. I wanna ride with you

 

I've been known to have a grizzle.

I can't bear this any longer.

boo boo!

 

Yogi'n all stuffed!

 

Yogi n'all go jump.

 

I used to be grizzled but now I'm fully grizzed and starting to turn white.

Why don't you just drop it?
