Ride around the Rivers
Ride 3 - Nedlands to Mosman Park
Proceed along the shared path running between the river and the Esplanade. This takes you past the Nedlands Yacht Club, Gallop House and the Perth Flying Squadron and continues on past Tawarri Restaurant for about 400 metres. Here the path ends and you must carry your bike up the stairs to Birdwood Parade. There is a cycle path on the right side of the road before you reach Tawarri Restaurant, if you would prefer not to carry your bike.
Turn left into Birdwood Parade and follow the road as it becomes Jutland Parade. This is where some of WA’s most expensive houses are located. The road curves right and becomes Victoria Avenue – which has bicycle lanes on both sides (part-time peak hour lanes only). On the left is the Old Claremont Museum (open weekends). After a small, sharp bend in the road you come to Christchurch Grammar School.
At the Stirling Highway lights turn left onto the shared path. Cycle up a steady slope before turning left at Corry Lynn Road.
Continue along then turn right into Brae Road and ride for about 100 metres then turn left into Cliff Way.
Take another left at the T-junction into Richardson Avenue and continue downhill where the road becomes Bindaring Parade.
After approximately 200 metres a sharp and dangerous sweep to the right will start you on a very steep, but picturesque, run down to the Esplanade. Care should be taken on this steep descent. You are now in Peppermint Grove and on your left is the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club.
Proceed around a small roundabout and continue to follow the river past Keane’s Point until you reach the Mosmans Tea Rooms – an ideal start/finish point. |
