Recreational Cycle Routes

The routes available on SmarterTravelGLA are for various abilities, with different lengths and levels of difficulty. The routes will be on a mix of shared use paths, dedicated cycle tracks and some stretches of quiet road.

The routes are divided into three categories:

• Green are the easiest ones
• Blue are longer rides
• Red for those who want to embark on full-day adventures.

If you would like to take these routes with you on your cycle, you can download them as GPX files, which work great on smartphones and other navigation devices.

There are also overview maps available to download. These aren't meant for navigating while you're on the move so make sure you find a safe place to stop and plan the next stage of your journey.
