Frosty first thing, down to -1°C riding up Gardiners creek and then Mullum Mullum creek trails. Stopped for an early coffee in Croyden, can highly recommend “The Secret Garden” there. Then north up through Wonga Park towards the river, pass by Kellybrook winery to check on the oak tree we got married under - still there, but the winery wasn’t open so no photo today. Up to the river and off along one of the dirt tracks that looked as thought it might go all the way through to Warrandyte, as usual Google Maps was unhelpful and showed some tracks that had clearly locked gates across them and “Private Property, no entry” signs. Nothing for it but to retrace my route back through Wonga Park & ride to Warrandyte along the road, then start heading back down towards Ringwood & into parts of Melbourne where I had a vague idea of where I was. The route home was then the Eastlink trail to Yarraman & Djerring trail back to Hughesdale. Five and a bit hours, 99.6km, and the spouse told me off for not riding around the block to get it to 100!
