Been meaning to do this one for quite a while, and seeing that I needed to keep away from running, but wanted to test the endurance, the time was right.
Got some information from
here and
here, so set of.
Out through Diamond Hill, then skirted Kangaroo Flat more than suggested, then Browns Reef, before going through Devonshire Reef, got through most of the Whipsticks on memory. (Glad that I know the area, don't know how PPL get around through lack of Signage)
1st stop was at the Lights in Epsom, then 2nd shortly there after after bumping into Invis on his run. I then tried to cut across to the trail again, but missed, and went West of the airport, was so looking forward to going up the easy, smooth Plant Rd, but next time.
Along the Channel track at Wildflower, before getting to go over the top of OTH, was tempting to cut around the bottom, as shorter and no climb, but that wouldn't be fair.
Nice ride, will have to convince the Bendigo crowd to do it. Will try to stick to more Forest next time as well.
