Wollongong to Kangaroo Valley - Hard
Cycling Route
Details
120.8 km
2,180 m
This is the hardest of the three route options posted. Longer options could be made but it's hardly worth it. The first climb is long but not too hard - a lot like a Mallorcan climb. The first descent however is a belter, and not to be taken lightly. It's twisty, rough in places and very fast.
A dose of suburbia then becomes rolling countryside with a steady climb after Albion Park. Not long after is Jamberoo Pass, with a sadistic start. The road steadily climbs after the pass to Robertson before more lovely countryside before the drop into Kangaroo Valley. Again, take caution as its a busy road with switchbacks and fast sections in between. It's a short but busy run from there.
