 To enjoy the ride described below, you must be a very fit and experienced cyclist. It features eight kms of climbing, four kms of which are very steep and difficult. The reward for those who attempt it are magnificant views over the plains and the valleys, and fast five km downhill run after all the climbing. It is certainly easier to get a lift to Bellawongarah, or Cambewarra Mountain Lookout, and cycle down in any direction.
