Buttermans Track, St. Andrews/Yarra Glen
Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:40 am
Hi All,
I'm taking an international guest for a ride on ANZAC Day next week and he's keen to do some hills, but I also want to take in the scenery and have a good spot for lunch afterwards.
So I was just looking at a nice little route Yarra Glen - Kinglake - Toolangi - Healsville - Yarra Glen. http://g.co/maps/c555q
However! It has a 10km section along a road/track I don't know - Buttermans Track, between Yarra Glan and St. Andrews. I've picked this route cause I'm not that keen to ride Eltham Rd. all the way to kangaroo ground then back up to Kinglake!
Does anyone know if this road is ok to ride on a road bike? How nasty is it?
Also, I've nominated the ride direction up Kinglake, then down from Toolangi to Healsville because I love the descent toward Healsville...
Any thoughts on the route appreciated!
