Start at Arthur Square where there is some parking, a toilet block and a cafe across the road. Out Glenora Road then turn left at the T Junction at the end onto Gordon River Road. Ride to the top of the hill to enjoy the views out the back, then turn around and ride back through Glenora and Bushy Park. Stay on Gordon River Road to the Lyell Highway, crossing the Styx and Derwent Rivers along the way. Enjoy the great views back to Bushy Park and down to the Derwent before arriving at the highway and turning right. Up to Rosegarland, where you might want to photograph the old roadhouse and vehicles parked outside before descending down to the plains.
Ride alongside the river until just past the pump station on the right and climb the short steep ramp which leads to the Lawitta Road turn-off on the left. Follow the road around through Lawitta until it brings you around to Back River Road and turn right. Follow it back to the Lyell Highway, turn left then right across the river and find your way back to Arthur Square. Enjoy a coffee at the Black Swan Cafe when you finish opposite where you parked, or at the Quilted Teapot on the other side of the square.
