Wang to Bright Rail Trail
Last week my husband and I took some time off and had a wonderful time cycling the "Murray to Mountains" Rail Trail. We cycled 231kns in 3 days. It was great!!!
We stayed at Myrtleford. At Ardens Caravan park in a cabin. Really nice. They had a BBQ area with seating and groups of "Older cyclists" were staying there and using the facilities and having a good time.
Day 1 we cycled to Beechworth. A big 15kms up hill. But a great time coming back down hill. We had lunch at the Beechworth bakery and I had a really nice Snickadoo with blueberries on it. YUM!! That day I got a puncture on a down hill run from Taylor Gap. And Mark's Greenspeed recumbant tyre got a bulge. 91kms. I was sooooo tired. I was asleep by 9pm.
Day 2. We drove to Wangaratta to Dean Woods cycles to get a 16inch tyre for the trike. Then we cycled to Milawa to taste wines and eat cheese. Then back on the rail trail at Tarrawhingie riding to Wang to collect the car and back to Myrtleford. I think that was about 50kms. A nice cruisie day after the big one the day before.
Day 3 Bright. As we cycled to Bright we could see the land getting greener. Bright is a lovely town. We went through a place called EUROBIN, and Porpuncka (where my sister inlaw comes from). We has morning tea at a lovely bakery in Bright. I had a blackberry slice. YUM.
Then we rode to the Maze. Made a wrong turn. Back to Bright to start again.
We managed to get into and out of the maze and found the 2 rose bushes and the 2 towers. It was great. I got a bit panicky when I seemed to be going around in circles and couldn't find a way out but we got through it. Had a pie at the cafe and an enormous piece of sponge cake! YUMMY!!!
Then we rode back to Myrtleford but stopped at the Bright Berry farm for a berry icecream.
About 80kms.
I was suprised when we got home and I hadn't lost any weight. With all that cycling & fresh air.
The weather was great too. Unlike this week of cold & wet.
