    Tips

    If you're not equipped for the gravel track on the East shore of Pontsticill Reservoir, the road on the West shore offers a fun tarmac alternative. A nice long straight to crank out some speed, or if it's the views you're after a nice viewpoint from the lay-by.

      This stretch is super straight and dips down to the shores of the lake. Means you can pick up some speed on the way down, perfect for the climb up the other side - which ever direction you go!
