this is a classic week day ride climbing start is worth the sweat....the down hill to pope valley is awesome....shoulder space on pope valley road....this ride strokes one's ego.

Three mountain passes and three valleys, Loop Ride

From Civic Drive Greensborogh to Melb City - NO ROADS. This entire 36kms is on bike paths only. No cars to mess with, only dogs, pedestrians, joggers with iPods, lovers, golf balls, the occasional Tiger snake (or eastern brown, or red belly black snake, but probably Tiger snake), and, of course, other cyclists.
