Bridge to Bridge Route

The Bridge to Bridge

Difficulty: Easy
Length: 8 km
Duration: Approx 1 hour

Description: A flat circuit heading from West Basin to Commonwealth Park where you can view the waterlillies in the ponds and hear the Carillion performance on Aspen Island. Head over Kings Avenue Bridge and take in some of the fabulous artwork in the National Gallery’s sculpture garden.

Ride along the beautiful promenade past the National Portrait Gallery and the National Library and back over Commonwealth Avenue Bridge to Mr Spokes. If you have time, stop for a coffee at Waters Edge.

Bush Capital Loop Route

The Bush Capital Loop

Difficulty: Medium
Length: 17 km
Duration: Approx 2 hours

Description: A delightful insight into why Canberra is called the bush capital. Ride West along Lake Burley Griffin and the base of Black Mountain, through grasslands and eucalypts to Scrivener Dam. Head past the Governor General’s house and into beautiful Westborne Woods then on to Weston Park.

Hug the Lake back through Yarralumla and return to West Basin over Commonwealth Avenue Bridge. If you have time, take 3 hours and stop for a coffee at the Yarralumla Brasserie in Weston Park – or take a picnic with you. If you’re lucky, you will see the wallabies grazing just near you!

Other sites within riding distance of Mr Spokes include the wonderful Australian National Botanic Gardens, the War Memorial, Old Parliament House, the National Museum and new Parliament House.
