The way points of this bicycle route:
Cross bridge and turn left
turn left here, away from Woden
turn right onto the secret bike path
The bike path leaves the road here and disappears almost due north into the countryside
Abuse the damn wall as you ride over it
You can stop here to visit the zoo if you brought a camera and some money.
Take the left branch of the Y
Some roadworks here mean you cross the road, but detour is well signposted.
Detour up the hill. There's a coffee shop at the tourist place at the top with a very nice balcony.
Best view in Canberra? At least that's the claim.
The detour here means some tricky riding is needed.
Don't do what I did the first time and try for an entry onto the other side of the bridge.
Loop back in under yourself.
Cross the road and head onto the path through Telopea Park - head away from the water
Make your way into Manuka, but turn north-west early onto Franklin Street
Left turn toward Collins Park

right onto Stonehaven Cres, but masochists and tourists could also detour straight ahead to Red Hill.
Stay left on Stonehaven Cres
right onto Strickland Cres
Left onto Kent Street
Right onto Kitchener Street, but left immediately afterward onto Wisdom Street
Dogleg to right then left across Yamba Drive and onto Launceston Street
leave the road onto the bike path on the right and follow the storm drain south toward Woden town centre.

Turn left and take the tunnel
After the tunnel, turn right to keep following Athllon Drive.
Leave the bike track here and join the roadside bike track down the hill to the main intersection.
Straight across the main intersection
Here, leave the road onto the off-road bike track.
Turn right toward the dam wall
Follow the bike track through the park, past the skate park, another park and onto the water's edge.
You can ramp down onto the timber boards if you want, there's a ramp at the far end around the corner.
