About this ride
One of Darwin's most scenic longer rides — heading out of the city through Coconut Grove and down the Cox Peninsula Road toward Mandorah. Flat to rolling terrain with open savanna landscapes and harbour views on the return.
This is a longer effort. Riders should be self-sufficient (spare tubes, pump, food). The group pauses at the Mandorah turnaround before regrouping for the return.
