81.08km / 4:12:12 / 1102m / 10.0°C
Not quite the six hours and 2500m of climbing suggested in BN’s training plan, but not a bad half day out. Rode out to the Dandenongs along Scotchmans Creek and Blind Creek trails then found a few of the less trafficed roads before descending back down the Olinda-Basin road and home mostly along the Dandenong Creek trail. Being Fathers Day the hills were packed with families out for a drive or a lunch outing, so traffic was a bit of a problem, but the creek trails there and back were ok, just the usual off-leash dogs and mud-slime filled underpasses
No lyrebirds today, just parrots and cockatoos. Cool up in the forest, verging on the downright cold for the descent back to The Basin, I gave a little shout for joy coming out of the trees at the bottom and watching the temperature get back up into double digits!
