Cycling Route
Details
5.74 km
124 m
This is the Skin or Glory course that starts near the corner of Walmer and Studley Park Rd (on the otherside of the oval near the pump track). Follow the course down the side of the golf course. At the bottom (checkpoint 1) turn right back up yarra boulevard. Continue to the top of the hill and go through the underpass (Studley Park Rd above). On exiting the underpass on the right is a brown and white sign with a trail going up the hill. Follow it! It sweeps down through the trees crosses another trail and keeps going. Follow it for 50m or so and it sharply turns right back up the hill. Follow the trail to the top of the hill and go around the odd empty fountain (checkpoint 2). Go back down via the footpath to the first bus stop and Bushman's Hut and turn right. On the driveway take the trail down the hill on your left. You will cross an earlier part of the course and then turn left (checkpoint 3) onto yarra boulevard. Follow the road until you come to the right hand turn for the road that leads to the criterium tear drop loop. Take the dirt trail that goes through the centre of the criterium loop. Follow the trail until near the end there is a sharp left hand turn. Beware the rocks and sharp descent back onto Yarra boulevard criterium course (checkpoint 4). Follow the road all the way back out to the studley park underpass. Turn right, mount the foot path and zig zag your way back up to the pump track and finish!
There! it's complicated but its an awesome course - just get to know it first!
