Tomorrow's Ride

Over the next few weeks, in preparation for my ride to Sydney, I am doing several 300km+ rides. 

Tomorrow (Monday) ride is from my house in Carlton, in inner Melbourne, to Bendigo. I've ridden to Bendigo several times before, yet, I have not ridden there and back in a day. The total return distance is 316km - should be a walk in the park. I am expecting the ride to take 10-14hrs, and I hope to depart by 5am. 

In terms of route, it is, in fact, twenty km faster to take the Calder Freeway to Bendigo. However, I value my life and I don't think the cars will be too polite to a cyclist that early in the morning. Also, the ride via the Northern Hwy is much more picturesque. 

I will iPhone some photos on route.
