The ride starts on the edge of Margaret River township, in the famous wine growing region, and heads south along the Wadandi Track gravel rail trail through a mix of farmland and forest. The ride leaves the trail at the small town of Witchcliffe, although the trail does continue a further 7 km south. After a brief stretch along Bussell Hwy, the ride heads east along undulating local roads through farmland and vineyards to the Berry Farm which is always a good place to stop for a hearty lunch amidst carefully tended gardens.

Filmed in 2024 while the Tour Down Under was in full swing, enjoy the rolling hills from the top of Norton Summit as we venture out and around towards Cudlee Creek. Save plenty in the legs before ascending the rather brutal Corkscrew Road. It’s filmed by FulGaz’s Aidan Buttigieg in his Maltese National Road Champions jersey, but don’t worry, he’s only “cruising”.

A climb used many times in the Tour Down Under and by Adelaide locals as a fitness test! The Strava KOM is still held by retired pro, Richie Porte. Set off from the beach then head inland through vineyards and gently rolling roads. Don’t go too hard too soon, because you’ll want to leave something in the legs for the classic Willunga Hill showdown.

Filmed on a crisp Tasmanian winter’s morning, this is a popular training ride with the locals. Starting in Sandy Bay near the casino, we head south along the Derwent through Taroona, warming the legs before having a crack up Bonnet Hill. After a fast descent and a lap around Kingston Beach, we ramp it up again and climb back over Bonnet Hill from the other (steeper) side.
It’s a furious descent into Sandy Bay as thoughts turn to post-ride coffee, finishing the ride with a view across the harbour.

This is a fast and fun loop in and around Canberra. Great as a recovery ride or if you want to train on speed or distance or both. Do one loop or more, whatever suits you.
The ride will show you a bit of Canberra and why it is called the ‘Bush Capital of Australia” and with all the bike paths how bike-friendly the city is. Have a look at the old and new Parliament House while riding on ANZAC Parade or enjoy the many nature reserves and open spaces in the city.

Copperlode is one of the most popular cycling routes in Cairns, Tropical North Queensland. Located only 10km’s from the CBD Lake Morris Road takes you out to the Copperlode Dam. With spectacular views across Cairns from the first lookout and with very few cars ever seen it is a perfect training road for cyclists. The first 8.5km’s has an average gradient of 4.9% but it comes with plenty of short sharp pinches to keep you on your toes. Then it’s up and down for another 6.5km’s. This will provide you with a solid 1hr session!

The ‘Three Fingers’ of Upper Brookfield Road, Savages Road and Gold Creek Road in the leafy western Brisbane suburb of Brookfield is a loop popular with Brisbane cyclists for good reason.
This version starts at the Brookfield General Store and takes on the longest Brookfield Road Loop first. Keep an eye out for famous landmarks like the ‘piggy letterboxes’ and the entirely random red British phone booth standing in a paddock. You won’t notice any significant climbs but this ride is rarely flat so you do end up with more elevation than you’d think.
