GRADE 3 - Medium grade of climbing – eg Wodonga to Yack. Mostly sealed surface with one gravel section and one on road section. 

10am Meet at the Yack turn-off at on Beechworth-wodonga Rd

The railtrail flows through woodland and farmland, basically following the line of the old railway line (closed in 1944). My NEW plan is now to park at the above location, just down the Yack Rd from the big roundabout at the Yack turn-off on the Beechworth-Wodonga Rd.  We will ride through the underpass towards Beechworth, continue on to Wooragee on the Rail Trail, then up the hill to Beechworth, more or less following the old railway line. Brunch in Beechworth, then reverse all the above back to the Yack turnoff. Big downhill back into Yack if we can manage car-shuttles!

Limit 12 people.
