Touring Routes

Cycle Route Description	Distance (km)	Difficulty	Notes	Rating
Turners Beach to Penguin	17.2	Beginner	Some shared pathway and some coastal road. Always beautiful with coffee shop options along the way.
Ulverstone Penguin Loop	23.5	Intermediate	Got to be the perfect short ride. Rural and coastal scenery to die for. Undulations along the way will elevate the heart rate...but not too much.
Penguin to Riana via Mt Duncan	19.5	Intermediate	A lot of quiet gravel road in some places badly eroded, however the bushland is majestic! Not suited to road bikes.
Gunns Plains	15.6	Beginner	Start at Bannons Park and follow the valley floor taking in the serenity. Wings Farm offers an opportunity for food and refreshments. One for the cycle tourers!
Penguin via Ironcliffe Rd to Ferndene and return	13.8	Intermediate	Hilly, however Ferndene is a gem and worth the effort.
Ulverstone, Gunns Plains Loop	64	Expert	64km of cycling bliss! The best of coastal with majestic hinterland…all to your own! THE iconic ride of Australian cycling.
Gawler via Swamp Road to Kindred	27.3	Intermediate	Rolling, quiet country road finishing with a glorious descent.
Forth to Eugenana via Melrose	28.4	Intermediate	Iconic ironman course used for the National Road Championships. A feast of rolling Tasmanian countryside. Look out for alpacas and turkeys!
Forth via Paloona to Forth	24.4	Intermediate	The ride up the Forth River valley is a treat. After crossing the Forth bridge with the rolling rural landscape, the views down the Forth Valley and to Bass Strait are a delight. It’s all quintessential Tassie!
Ulverstone to Cuprona via Howth- Bonney Rd-South Riana-Penguin-Ulverstone	56.6	Expert	Bliss! Picturesque to the max. Outstanding 360o views.
