Maldon Cycling, with support from FOBIF, has produced a new book, Seventeen Gravel Bike Rides: Maldon & Beyond.
The area around Maldon is a great place for gravel rides on unmade roads and tracks. The routes are through local bush and farming land around Maldon, to Newstead, Castlemaine and Cairn Curran Reservoir. A number of rides are in the Maldon Historic Reserve and the Muckleford State Forest, which have networks of interesting tracks.
The book contains ten maps by Jase Haysom showing seventeen routes and is generously illustrated with photos by Bronwyn Silver, Ian McKelvie, Bernard Slattery, and Geoff Park. Bernard has also contributed a short essay, ‘This country is worth a good look!’. Sample pages from the book can be found here and here.
Rosalie Hastwell, the councillor for Maldon & surrounds, will launch the book at Maldon Neighbourhood Centre (corner Church and Edwards Streets, Maldon) at 11 am on Sunday 15 June.
Light refreshments will be served. If you would like to attend, please let Maldon Cycling know for catering purposes. Their email address is maldoncycling@gmail.com
We will provide information about where to buy the book and the price in a future post.
