I've ridden Mt Mee before, but it's not a mid-week distance for me unfortunately. I'll have to give Springbrook a try though. Ta!

For a longer ride their is Arthurs seat at 'bout 8-10% also. If you got all day to ride then Mt Donna Buang for a 1hr long climb. Flat then Beach rd has gotta win. 20km hilly/ rolling hills Time Trial course then Steels creek rd in Yarra Glen. 20km loop also out at yarra glen using yarra glen rd and old healesville rd. Obviously these rides are closer if you live in the NE suburbs Kinglake = 5%, Mt Dandenong (Tourist rd, mountain hwy also around 5%) lots of other steeper ones 8-10% up their.

My nerdometer tells me that 53x14 @ 65rpm = 31.3km/h. 53x17 @ 65 = 25km/h and 39x17 @ 65 = 19km/h, so pick and choose between these I guess.

It starts from the Samford road. I forgot another personal fave:
