Postby martinjs » Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:47 pm
I know it's 6 months away but I like to plan ahead . Any tips on best road to use or not to use and where do I go when I have to leave the Freeway coming in to Melbourne. I beleive I have to get of near the Keilor-Melton Rd intersection.
Thanks
Martin

3 years ago we were in Melbourne to visit relatives in Narre Warren and I rode a small amount around that area but that was before I got really serious.

The Dynon Rd overpass is an S bend with poor visibility and speeds I'm not comfortable with, not really bike friendly. Lloyd-Arden-Dryburgh will add some distance but be calmer.

Thanks Shaun, It'll probably be the Wednesday the 30th December and should hit the city about 12 to 1pm as even though I'll be leaving my parents place about 6am I only average around 24kph on long trips but I have made the changes you have suggested.Mulger bill wrote:If it's a weekend morning as you hit the CBD, I'd avoid King St. Glass and drunks.
