Description
From Huskisson the route goes south on a shared walking and cycling path (there may be more walkers than cyclists – so no need for speed here.) Once we get to Vincentia the route follows a safe, wide, quiet cycle path to Sanctuary Point, from where we cycle through to St. Georges Basin to get a great view of the sea at Basin View. (Notice the name of the side road on the right at 19.75km mark, visited again on the right at 20.35km). Don’t forget to stop at the boat ramp where there are some good toilets.
The last part of the ride is on quiet country roads up to the small village of Tomerong. Turn right before Tomerong Public School on Church Street where there is a nice park and public toilets (and often Kangaroos.) Don’t be put off when the road ends, continue of the path through to see all the new houses on Connolly Street.
The route takes you back to Huskisson along Pine Forest Road.
