Lake Burley Griffin Loop + Mt Ainslie

Cycling Route

Details
48.25 km
653 m
Look no further if you want a nice 50km ride that provides a great introduction to all things Canberra.

This route is mostly flat and takes you through city and bush, past cows and Kangaroos. You will encounter the major National Capital landmarks; National Gallery of Australia, High Court, Australian National University and Yarralumla, the Governor Generals Canberra residence.

If you wish to add some hills, just take a detour up Mt Ainslie for a spectacular view of Walter Burley Griffins organic design for the bush capital.
