Into the Vale (Broughton Vale)

Fast Facts

Distance: 12km

Elevation Gain: 128m

Hazards: 

• Traffic can move fast along Woodhill Mountain Road which doesn't have any verge to speak of. However, visibility is generally good and the road isn't too busy.

• Alternative Starting point at the Boundary Road intersection if you want to stay on super quiet roads (ride approx. 3km)

The Ride

Into The Vale is a great ride through one of Berry's hidden gems - Broughton Vale. The ride gently winds up the valley following the picturesque Broughton Vale creek.  This is a great ride if you have mixed abilities in the group.  See the Heart Starter ride for some good additions for those looking for a bit more challenge, but following the same route.

Directions

This is an out-and-back ride that gains gently in elevation out to the end point.
