This ride starts right in the heart of Adelaide, a vibrant city known for its festivals and great coffee. You’ll head north toward the leafy streets of North Adelaide, famous for its historic architecture and buzzing cafes. The route is just under 7.5 km—perfect for a relaxed spin or a brisk commute.

Most of the way is on nice, smooth cycleways and quiet roads, so you can really enjoy the journey. You'll climb just a little (about 33 meters total), and there are a couple of gentle descents, making it super manageable for any experience level. The path is mostly paved—with patches of concrete and asphalt—and you’ll pass parks, the River Torrens, and maybe even spot a koala if you’re lucky.

Finishing in North Adelaide gives you loads of options: cool down with a coffee, a stroll along the leafy boulevards, or check out one of the city’s heritage pubs. It’s an easy, scenic ride that shows off the best of Adelaide’s bike-friendly routes!
