Trail Overview
As Sydney based cyclists, our first thoughts and expectations while researching The Canberra Centenary Trail leaned heavily towards manicured bike paths and champagne gravel. What we discovered was a diverse mix of terrains that seemed to favour the use of a hardtail mountain bike, or a gravel bike with an aggressive dirty flair.
The trail is well signposted for a majority of the ride. Our experience in early 2023 was that some parts toward the southern end were a little more ambiguous.
The weather during our ride was everything but hail! Hot dry days, pouring rain, and everything in between.
LOCAL TRAIL ASSOCIATION
