A family ride from Rushworth to Murchison on the newly completed rail trail, then two thirds of us rode back and the remaining third relaxed by the river.
Sealed tar from the start to the outskirts of Rushworth then one of the two main road crossings.
Two distinct surfaces, a chunky red gravel from Rushworth to where the trail used to end, then finer roadbase to Murchison. Enjoyable, but a little disconnected from town at the Murchison end, a few signs and a slight extension would bring it to the riverside park and integrate it with the paddlesteamer history. Do stop and climb up the embankment to view the Cattanach canal, it is an amazing piece of engineering. Rushworth locals recommend the icecream shop in Moora rd around the corner from the trail end, we’ll try it next time
