The Ride

Climbs

The goal - hit as many hills as possible, but don't stray too far from home. The result - The Heart Stopper.

Want to ride 140km up 3,800+m and never get more than 20km from Berry? This is the ride for you

Go up, go down...repeat...

This ride consists of two loops that takes you over all the local haunts.

Part 1 heads into Broughton Vale for a little warm up on a few up and back pinches. The ride then does a broad loop through eastern Kangaroo Valley taking in the odd climb on the way.

Part 2 heads off over Berry Mountain and then does Cambawarra both ways before heading home (and probably to bed in my case).

Part 1: Broughton Vale - Woodhill - Brogers - Berry Mountain West - Cambawarra Lookout - Wattamolla - Back to Berry
