Googong Dam circuit

Got half a day? Why not spend it on a local loop away from it all, but right on Canberra’s doorstep.

South Canberra ridges

Canberra’s Nature Parks have great gravel tracks. This route delivers off-road cycling without leaving the city.

Molonglo River Reserve

Cycling LBG is ok, but can get busy. This Molonglo valley gravel trail leaves the crowds behind.

So Canberra… Fantastic gravel cycling around Grenfell NSW. Candidate for the best gravel climb in the ACT - Warks Road. No traffic, steady incline, shady and well maintained. The cycling you get to do when your bike finally turns up, but bikepacking trip is no longer possible. Epic cliff and valley views. Beach & beer time Sometimes, the great roads aren’t gravel….. When you think about it, the gravel riding that you can do inside our city is pretty amazing. And you can throw in some single track as you go if you want! It is super hard to go past Dog Trap Road for epic gravel views. Sometimes, it has to be single track Found some gravel, and a couple of temples on the way Another @wagga_gearsandbeers #Dirty130 done. Epic. Gravel cruise home. Never get tired of the lake view on Marked Tree Road. I think I’m ready for the @wagga_gearsandbeers #dirty130. Getting in some Yass gravel in preparation for @wagga_gearsandbeers. I hope the weather is as epic as today… Training for @wagga_gearsandbeers on commute. Lovely evening for it. Epic winter day Stromlo colour this morning . Epic gravel weekend (Moss Vale - Taralga) day 2 took in Swallow Tail Pass and Canyonleigh Road. Fire track style pass could be a bit gnarly for gravel bikes in wet, but rest of route is vintage gravel. Just lovely. Back in Oz, took sneaky flash bikepacking weekend Moss Vale - Taralga return. One of the great gravel weekends of NSW. Day 1 took Wombeyan Caves Road. Great views and a mix of smooth and more fire-track style gravel. Finished with great pub stay @thetaralgahotel
