Once a year we should ride the full Warby Trail. The ride will start at the Seville car park (near the Carriage Cafe) at 9 am, then ride first to the Lilydale end , before turning back. You might like to stop at the Carriage Cafe for coffee before continuing the ride to Warburton. You can stop for lunch either in Warburton or Yarra Junction, before heading back to the start in Seville. The total length will be around 80km, but some will choose to shorten to whatever length they wish.
