With the weather Gods looking kind to bike riders, Linda & I decided to have a leisurely ride.

The plan was to have quick look at Yea Spur Rd, then some roads that Linda has not seen yet.

The day started out very cold and sunny, but by Glenburn could not see a thing. We turned onto Ti Tree Creek Rd / Clarkes Rd, at the end of which it was clearing up.

A quick squirt up the tar to Junction Hill and onto Yea Spur Rd.
This is worth the short detour for the views. The first few pics are less than 1km in, first clear spot you come to.

The road is suitable for any vehicle to this point

But does get a bit trickier further in, with steepish but short ascents & descents. Could get interesting in places after a lot of rain with many clay patches.

These pics are at the end where you get to the farm house & gates.

Thanks for that, Very nice. :clap:

Thanks for posting the map as well. Spent a lot of time on google maps and have never found out the differences from a signed account.

Now I know.

Some great scenery down there.

Cheers
