Tips for anyone doing this ride: You're best off going in the reverse direction. That way you go down the flight of stairs, and down the *very very steep* Heidelberg Rd underpass instead of up. Also, take the north bank of the Yarra River rather than south - the path is in much better condition, and you get to ride on the pontoons which means you're literally riding *on the river*. Start at Fed Square, and following the ped/bike arrows heading east along the bank. At no point should you have to ride on the road itself, only cross - this video shows a small section on the road which had the cyclist taken the marked path to the left at 8:48, he/she would have avoided the road. Capital City Trail is beautiful, well worth the ride.

I'm doing this ride every week, starting and ending at East Malvern station (45km) round trip.Never gets boring!

I’ve been as far as 5:30 and that’s where it goes a bit funny and seems may need some type of navigation but don’t know what? I’m on my TV now but from memory I can slow the video down on the pc version so I may even slow it down and screen record a snippet of that section and upload it to my phone with the VLC app. Good thing technology, thanks for the upload, might need to check out your channel

An awesome trail but so unknown amongst locals. I enjoyed it.

Hi Sam, how was the trail like? Do you have any advise for skaters who are looking to try this out for the first time?

[@GongsBrandCube]

Gosh I don’t even remember Melbourne looking like that

[@Italipino01]

I pass everything before and about 5-10km after the cheese dick at flem rd. Had no idea this is where it can lead. As a new cyclist I'm definitely doing this ride. Thanks man

I wished i had seen this before i 'explored' the capital city trail. I wouldnt have gotten lost near the docklands area.

[@davepritchard8796]

Good effort to cover that distance in 10 minutes.
