A cruisy out-and-back ride on smooth, quiet country roads. Ideal for beginners or those after a relaxed spin, with sweeping views of farmland and open plains, the ride skirts past the most northern end of the New England High Country before looping back.
The route follows Black Swamp Road from Tenterfield, climbing gently through pastoral country before returning the same way. Well-graded gravel makes this accessible to most cyclists with a gravel, road or hybrid bike.
