East Link Bike Trail

East Link Bike Trail is open now.

Yesterday, I have gone though the trail from High St to Burwood Hwy. The barrier has been removed and road cross lights are working; also the road cross for Burwood Hwy is in operating as well.

It's very nice concrete bike path, with clean surface (compare with the blind creek trail I'm riding, where I have got flat tyre once a month). After the Burwood Hwy traffic. I could all the way ride to the Heathmont without any interruption by road crossing and traffic light.

I'm really happy with the path although it's 2km longer than go though Blind Creek Trail and Stud Rd bike path. But, from High St to Burwood Hwy, it's a climbing, not very hard but a little longer with the headwind! It definitely reduces your speed and takes more time as such a distance. The other thing is the crossing under the East Link. I hope they can finish the job quickly to replace the rough surface.

Anyway, it's a good path and I really enjoy the non-stop riding after Burwood Hwy crossing. I decide to take this route as my back home riding.

This morning, another PB record for me,
