This ride starts at the Healesville (in the park behind Coles New World) and then proceeds up the Chum Creek Rd to Toolangi, before turning back and then heading down to the foot of the climb. Then it's another U turn to repeat the climb back to Toolangi. This time we continue through Toolangi, past the Mt St Leonards turn off, then follow to steep downhill back to Healesville. After lunch at Healesville it's back on the bikes to complete another entire cirtcuit.
A great aerobic workout !

Important Notes for using Google Earth
If you are using Firefox as your web browser you should be able to simply download the file and then elect to open it with Google Earth. You will of course need to have first installed Google Earth on your computer.
If you are still using Internet Explorer, the process may be a little more complicated. If it doesn't open correctly by double clicking then try the following process. First Right click on the link above then select "save target as" from the options. Since Internet Explorer will try to change the file extension to a xml file, you need to manually change the file extension from xml to kml before you save the file. Once you have done this you should be able to proceed with the download and then double click on the downloaded file to load it into Google Earth. (Don't you love Microsoft?)
