Cycling Route
Details
12.48 km
343 m
A sweaty MTB commute from the Southern Suburbs to the CBD. Park and grab a coffee at Melissa's in Newlands and head into town on your MTB. You will need to take a shower after this ride but it's well worth it if you have the facilities at work and you don't mind riding with a small backpack.
