I rode day 1 with a local group who went on a 4 day ride. Most guys were on 400-650 class singles, and the AT was by far the porkiest. It was hard work to get through the thick rutted clay bog holes and steep rocky climbs, but I somehow came through unscathed.
Near the origin of the Yarra river, the big river that flows through Melbourne city a few hundred km's away.
Summit of Mt Matlock where I turned back home.
Thomson Dam, the primary water supply of the Melbourne metro. It is a rare sight to see it at capacity.
