Ride Information

Starting at 8 am from the upper deck of the Stromlo Forest Park Pavilion the ride will take in one of Canberra's most popular loops before finishing at the Handlebar for coffee.

The ride is social pace, and will be a clockwise loop of Cotter / Uriarra, with efforts (and stopping regroups) at Mt Macdonald and the Three Sisters.

The bunch will head south out of SFP, take the bike path past the ACT Bushfire Memorial, and then on to Sawllowtail RD and Cotter Rd. The bunch will return to SFP and the Handlebar via Uriarra Rd then Dave McInnes Rd.
