This ride starts at the National Rock Garden (aka bottom Arboretum car park off Forest Drive).

Just prior to reaching Curtin we will turn onto the bike path that runs adjacent to Cotter Road and will continue on to Wright.

We will continue following the bike path to Stromlo Forest Park where we will take a break for coffee at the Handlebar cafe (10kms).  

We will leave Stromlo Forest Park heading towards Combs.  Leaving the park there will be a short section where will be riding on on-road bike lanes down Swallowtail Road.  

We will continue through Combs until we reach the bike path that runs adjacent to the Molonglo River.  We will continue on the bike path around Combs and following the Molonglo River and then onto the C5 bike path.  (There are a couple of short sections of on-road riding on quiet suburban rides).

We will proceed along the C5 bike path riding following the Molonglo River and then back to Scrivener dam and back to the National Rock Garden car park (21.5kms).

Almost all riding is on bike paths with several short on-road sections on on-road bike lanes and on quiet streets.
