About This Route

Purcell's Cove Road has some nice rollers and minimal traffic. Occassionally you'll get some nice ocean views too.

This route is a nice alternative to the crumbly shouldered Herring Cove/Purcell's Cove loop.

Use the End of Hebridean -- at Pelham where the road is wide and just before you hit Herring Cove -- as the first U-turn spot and then the crest just west of St Augustine as the second U-turn spot.

Finish back at the rotary when you have done enough out and back runs to Hebridean.

This cycling route is ideal for: Road bike

You will cycle on the following surfaces: Paved

Highlights Along The Route

Point of Interest

Use the crest here as your turn-around since it offers the best visibility and it means you can avoid the higher traffic portion that starts north of the Williams Lake intersection.

More highlights are available with Bikemap for iOS and Android.
