Cycling day trip from Docklands to Deer Park

Hey there, ready to explore a bit of Melbourne on two wheels? This cycling route kicks off at Docklands, a vibrant waterfront hub known for its stunning views, modern architecture, and lively atmosphere. It's a great spot for a pre-ride coffee or a leisurely start overlooking the harbor.

From Docklands, you'll pedal your way west towards Deer Park. The route is mostly on cycleways (78%), making it a smooth and easy ride for all skill levels. You'll be passing through a mix of surfaces, predominantly on concrete and asphalt, which means your ride will be pretty consistent and comfortable.

As you ride, you'll ascend a modest 180 meters at most, with a maximum elevation reaching just around 57 meters, so no major hills to worry about. Along the way, enjoy the transformation of landscapes from urban vibes to more residential and suburban areas.

Upon reaching Deer Park, you've hit a spot known for its family-friendly parks and local charm. Why not stop for a breather at one of the parks or grab a bite at a local café? It's a wonderful contrast to where you started, highlighting Melbourne's rich diversity within a short ride. Happy cycling!
