With the aim of trying to avoid the main highways as much as possible, especially the Hume, i came up with a few options, either coastal, inland (west of Hume), or my favourite... Alpine. So i thought i'd start mapping out a bit of a route on mapmyride.
Here's the Elevation profiles and distances for the Alpine route, though the last section from Bairnsdale to Melbourne i haven't decided on (train option there depending on time available, or 2 days riding).

This route hasn't been decided on yet (didn't even mention it to Simon), so if there's any suggestions let me know, and anyone interested in joining is welcome.
