The Gippsland region produces a quarter of the nation's milk supply. This 490-km ride meanders through the rich dairy country of South Gippsland on the rural back roads used by milk trucks that pick up fresh supplies twice daily from various milking sheds in the district. The route includes a section of the Grand Ridge Road with glorious views both sides of the ridge and south to the sea. There are some sections of dirt road to add spice and which help make it very scenic. The route passes by milk processing factories, cheese factories and old dairy farmer’s co-ops that have long closed. You’ll be sure to meet lots of black and white Friesian cows named Daisy.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
