The Canberra region is blessed with country roads – on tarmac or gravel – across farmland, national parks, mountains, rivers and vineyards. Some of these routes are great for the roadie prepared for well maintained gravel roads, others need more serious gear. Some have great cafe and restaurant stops, others are purely outdoor adventures. Whatever takes your fancy, I hope you are inspired to plan your own Canberra region gravel cycling route.
