Starting from historic Yea, Tunnel Vision is a gravel feast of a route taking you over climbs, through rural landscapes and inky dark of Cheviot Tunnel, Victoria's longest rail trail tunnel. Head out on the Great Victorian Rail Trail before turning onto Native Dog Rd for downhill thrills on smooth gravel. At this point riders will need to navigate a short 1.4km section of the Goulburn Valley Highway that should only be attempted by advanced riders with good road riding experience and are comfortable riding carefully along the road shoulder. Your wheel soon hits gravel again as you turn onto Killingworth Road for majestic mountain views back to Yea's cafes and pubs.
