Bolong Bash (Shop Ride)

Fast Facts

Distance: 47km

Elevation Gain: 318m

Hazards: 

• Bolong Rd can be fairly busy, but has a decent shoulder for most of the way into Bomaderry.  Best to ride single file and beware of hoons.

The Ride

This is the regular Saturday shop ride. Departs at 7am sharp and averages 25-30km/hr. Otherwise take it at your leisure. The ride heads south out of Berry through pretty farmland along Back Forest Road. The ride then follows the Shoalhaven River towards Nowra before looping through Bomaderry and returning via the same route.

If you don't want to battle Bolong, then you can turn around at the end of Back Forest Rd (Two Figs ride).

Directions

This out-and-back ride heads south out of Berry.
