Merri-bek BUG

The next Moreland BUG ride is scheduled for the 13th and 14th of March and we will ride the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail!

The distance is 38 km each way. The rail is mainly flat and there are lot’s of stops along the way (a gentle rise over Mt Evelyn – trains don’t climb so well eh). We plan to stay overnight in Warburton and ride back to Lilydale on the next day. They have a lovely campsite in Warburton, right next to the Yarra River. Cabins are also available and there are a few Bed & Breakfasts in Warburton.

We will meet at Flinders St Station at Platform 3 (where the last 2 carriages will stop) at 9.00 am to catch the 9.10 am train to Lilydale. This should leave plenty of time for a lovely relaxing day.

Or you could met us at the Lilydale Railway Station at 10.15 am.

For further information have a look on the trail website.

Or have a look what Bicycle Victoria is saying about the trail.

If you are interested in joining us or if you have any further questions please contact our ride leader Rod Callander (rod.callander@gmail.com). Also, sing out if you need to borrow some panniers and/or camping gear – we have a few spare.
