Overview
Melbourne Cup not really your thing? If you'd rather be outdoors than cooped up inside going bonkers over a horse race, take advantage of the public holiday to get your nature fix with a ride along the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail. Pack a picnic, some water, and your bike, and drive over to this iconic 40km path that will have you testing the gears on your bike (and the muscles in your calves) as you climb and fly from mountain to valley to river. Following the historical railway, the trail winds through the vineyards of the Yarra Valley, over quaint bridges, and through lush forests, before finishing at the picturesque little town of Warburton.
