What to expect
A short, flat dirt path with minimal gradient. Signposting should be clear given the route's short length. Little to no shade on a dirt surface, so exposure to sun depends on surrounding vegetation. Surface is generally firm but may be loose after rain.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
Carry water even for short rides, especially in warm months. Wear appropriate cycling footwear and a helmet. Summer heat and occasional bushfire risk are factors in the Armadale area; check conditions before riding. A hybrid or mountain bike suits the dirt surface best.
