Bright rail trail

[DarrylH]

Does anyone know if the Wangaratta- Bright Rail Trail is suitable for road bikes with 23mm tires or does it need something a bit more ruggard.
Thanks

I believe that the entire route is sealed - at least thats what the website says - http://www.railtrails.org.au/states/tra ... l&trail=22

I rode from Bright to the Winery west of Myrtleford in January on 23mm tyres and found the trail surface just fine - better than a lot of roads here in NSW actually.

cheers

Thanks Grant, I saw comment that it was sealed but some photos showed gravel. Perhaps they have not been updated since it was sealed.

Sealed surface with local gravel embedded in it. Visually it looks like a gravel road, which is very pleasing to the eye. I rode a 300km Audax event out there 3 years ago and we rode from Everton to Beechworth (~20kms) on the railtrail. I was riding 20mm tyres and had no concerns.

I rode about half of it a few weeks ago on 23 mm tyres. Nothing to worry about. Most of it is better than a lot of sealed roads.

Forget about worrying about tyres- its the magpies that will bother you.
