Tuesday 14. Short one - Toolangi

Start:  9.30 Green St car park , Healesville.(market site)

Route clockwise, Healesville King Lake rd - Myers Creek rd. Don't know the exact stats cos didn't have Strava switched on last time I did it. My guess less than 40km and about 600 m climbing. Not steep. Nothing more than 4 or 5%. if its steeper I'll shout coffee. 
Coffee at the much over rated Beechworth Bakery - if we have to !
