The Great Victorian Rail Trail is Australia’s longest continuous rail trail, with Victoria’s longest rail trail tunnel at Cheviot. The trail spans 134 kilometres from Tallarook, through Trawool, Yea to Molesworth and Yarck to Cathkin and Alexandra.
We decided to do the section from Alexandra to Yea, passing the longest rail tunnel at Cheviot. The ride is 36km one way. It did not seemed too much initially but we were so wrong. After lunch at Yea, our ride back was tough going. The gusty winds did not help either. The uphills were gradual but long.
The 70km distance was the longest bike ride we have ever done in Australia. We retired early tonight with sore bums and legs and having just peanut butter and jam sandwich for dinner.
