Head straight for the dam from the Visitor Centre, point those wheels left and enjoy the view of the lake as you cross – left at the end of the dam, following the lakeside road.
Approx ¼ mile cross the cattle grid and head round to the right – watch out for the way-markers! Up through the gears here to get you up the rise.
Approx 1 mile again slow those pedals down and catch the way-marker on the right, sending you right down the forest track – Great section of downhill, but watch out as it does get slippy in the winter, and hard in the summer.
Through the gate at the caravan park, up the road and it’s a right again – Please be careful on the road side.
Slog up the hill, right through the gate, left at the edge of the dam, and back to where it all began.
