This is a cue sheet for the Thornbury to Ford Motor Company HQ Bicycle Map. You can print it out for later use.

Cumulative Distance Where Notes Direction Elevation
0km 0km Thornbury Start point at the Round-about corner Miller St and Gilbert Rd - trams and can be busy with cars. Climb the hill going North up Gilbert Rd to Preston. Distance = 0km NNE 54m
0.82km 0.82km Preston Large and busy multi-lane intersection here at the corner of Bell St and Gilbert Rd Preston. Look out for the tram stop and people wanting to turn left. Unfortunately this intersection is just before the crest of the hill too. Distance = 0.82km NNE 68m
1.62km 0.81km Preston Corner Murray Rd and Gilbert Rd. Distance = 1.6km NNE 83m
2.43km 0.81km Regent Intersection Gilbert Rd and Regent St. The 112 tram line terminates here. Distance = 2.44km NNE 78m
3.66km 1.23km Reservoir Multi-lane round-about at Gilbert Rd and Henty St - bear left. Distance = 3.6km NNW 338° 90m
3.92km 0.26km Reservoir Again a multi-lane round about take care and stick to the left lane - perhaps worth 'taking the lane'. Distance = 3.9km NW 306° 77m
4.27km 0.35km Reservoir 3rd last traffic light until you get to Ford Motor Company. Turn right to go North up Banbury Rd. Distance = 4.2km NNE 78m
5.08km 0.81km Reservoir Round-about. Distance = 5.1km NNW 356° 83m
5.67km 0.6km Reservoir Round-about. Distance = 5.7km NNE 83m
6km 0.33km Reservoir Round-about. Distance = 6.0km NNE 17° 86m
6.32km 0.32km Reservoir Large round-about. Distance = 6.3km NNW 359° 90m
6.69km 0.36km Reservoir Largish intersection here with Mahoneys Road. Probably worth getting off the bike and walking it across the lights to continue North up Blaxland Ave. Distance = 6.7km WNW 288° 94m
7.13km 0.44km Reservoir Pick up the bike path here on the South side of the Northern Ring Rd, turn right and there is a crossover about 100metres to the East. Distance = 7.14km E 83° 96m
7.28km 0.15km Reservoir Turn left and cross the Northern Ring Rd. Distance = 7.3km N 99m
7.39km 0.11km Thomastown Turn left and follow the new Hume Fwy going North. Distance = 7.4km W 266° 102m
9.03km 1.64km Main St. Distance = 9.0km NNW 341° 111m
9.92km 0.89km Thomastown Google Maps shows that Barry Road continues from Thomastown to Campbellfield crossing both the Hume and Merri Creek - however I can't see that on a Melways. If this does materialise then it would be a perfect turn left to get to Ford Motor Company HQ. Distance = 9.9km NNW 353° 121m
10.16km 0.24km Campbellfield There is the Whittlesea Public Gardens on the East side of the path, and a bridge to the West which crosses the Hume Fwy and apparently terminates at Merri Creek. It will hopefully one day continue to one of the roads the other side of the Merri Creek. Distance = 10.2km NNW 353° 123m
