Today, Tony will take you on a ride and a hike to Black Hill Reserve near Kyneton, starting at the Kyneton rail station carpark (25.4kms). There is a small walk to the summit, hence the hike.
Black Hill Reserve is located on 260 acres of rare bushland, approximately 5km north of Kyneton. It is known for its amazing granite rock formations such as The Monolith, one of the biggest granite features in Victoria.
The reserve is also home to a variety of wildlife, including many bird species, wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, phascogales, sugar gliders and possums.
There are a number of well-defined walking tracks for visitors to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the reserve. A rotunda with covered seating near the entrance of the reserve is for visitors to relax and picnic. A small metal box at the entrance has brochures with a map setting out available walks.
There is a fair bit of gravel, so mountain or hybrid bike preferred, route can be viewed at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50173546.

Bring a lock to secure bikes for the short walk. Coffee and cake back at Kyneton.
