A 43km loop that can be started at Eltham, and goes through Doncaster East and riding through Ruffy Park and returning to Eltham via the Koonung and Mullum Mullum Creek trails.
This is a pleasant ride through Westerfolds Park, Ruffy Park and then crossing over George Street and onto Whittens Lane, which takes you south west to meet up with the Koonung Creek Trail which runs adjacent to the Eastern Freeway. This trail connects to the Mullum Mullum Creek trail.
It’s a longer run than the ride via George Street but you avoid the busier roads. It’s good training for the even longer Main Yarra, Koonung Creek and Mullum Mullum Creek trail loop.
The ride is good training for the longer Main Yarra Trail, Mullum Mullum Creek and Koonung loop ride.
