What to expect
Sealed shared path with variable gradient, including steep pitches that demand control and fitness. The route follows a rail corridor, so expect a linear, dedicated cycling surface with good sightlines. Signposting is clear; shade is patchy in places. Some sections may be exposed to sun, particularly on the open rail reserve stretches. Suitable for hybrid or road bikes, though grip matters on steeper descents.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
- Waymarked route
Carry water—the exposed stretches offer little shelter. Summer heat and glare can be intense; ride early morning or late afternoon. Check for any track maintenance before winter rain. Wear bright clothing and lights for visibility. The challenging grade suits experienced urban cyclists; less confident riders should test short sections first.
