We will meet at the former Everton railway station at 9:45am for a 10:00am start.

The trail is all bituminised and is mostly long up/down gradients of 1-2%. There’s a bit of a climb over Taylor’s Gap near Gapsted, and then a long gradual incline (not bad but gets steeper and longer the hotter it is) back up to the cars.

You’ll have the option of buying your lunch in town (and meeting back again after, say, an hour) or bring your own lunch and hang out with me at the park.

Riders should carry a spare tube (and know how to replace it), a water bottle and sunscreen. We can refill water in Myrtleford, and there is a tank at the top of Taylors gap but I wouldn’t be certain that it’s operational/full.

This isn’t quite as scenic as the Myrtleford to Bright section of the rail trail, but it is still quite a nice ride beside the farmland.
