Riding to Canberra
If you come in via Bungendore I would seriously avoid Mac's Reef road. I
think it is entirely unsuitable for bicycles because of the high speed
traffic and zero shoulders with poor sight lines and...

Riding to Canberra
I regard the Goulburn to Tarrago section as marginal because of the

and Bowral (altitude about 740m), after that it is more or less level
the whole way with 50m up and down rollers. You don't...

Riding to Canberra
