I want to take my new bike through some dirt tracks. Is there any information on the net about where to find these around Melbourne?There's 'dirt tracks' all the way from Abbotsford to Westerfolds Park, along the Yarra River.

If you start at the corner of Victoria Street and Burnley, go over the bridge over the Yarra, and follow the Yarra upstream, there's a world of adventure to be had.

Word of warning though. There's everything from groomed dirt tracks to challenging singletrack along the way, but there's always ways to move forward if the trails get a bit hairy.

This is me near the Collingwood Childrens' Farm.
