SUMMARY:Milford Beach to Long Bay Beach
LOCATION:Milford Cruising Club
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 33% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nFor those who like exploring the North Shore and some spe
 ctacular views. As with any ride on the shore this one comes with three lo
 ng hills and 640m of elevation. Real battery killer so you need 500w minim
 um. It is however 100% concrete on either cycle paths or quieter roads but
  there are some road crossings you need to be careful of.\n\nI would rate 
 this ride as Intermediate - Suitable for all types of bikes\, however\, eb
 ikes are recommended due to changing terrain which includes hills\, mostly
  designated concrete paths and occasional road traverse. Confident riders 
 with low/medium level of experience is recommended. Pace is slow/moderate.
 \n\nWe’ll meet and depart from Milford at 10:30 am.\n\nWe’ll head along Pe
 nning Road\, then follow East Coast Road towards Sunset Road. This section
  is on shared cycle paths.\nWe’ll then turn left and ride towards Constell
 ation Bus Station via the Northern Busway. This section is on the road. Pl
 ease be careful of other cars.\nFrom the bus station\, we’ll join the Nort
 hern Cycleway and head north to Oteha Valley Road. It’s a smooth and enjoy
 able section of the ride.\nWe’ll turn right onto Oteha Valley Road\, then 
 continue onto Medallion Drive and ride towards Fairview Avenue\, climbing 
 all the way to Lonely Track Road.\n\nIt’s a long climb\, so please ride at
  your own pace.\nAt Lonely Track Road\, we’ll turn right and continue towa
 rds Glenvar Road. There are some great views along this section\, so take 
 a moment to enjoy the scenery.\nWe’ll follow Glenvar Road via Glenvar Ridg
 e Road and arrive at Long Bay Beach\, where we’ll stop for a short break a
 nd use the restrooms if needed.\n\nAfter the break\, we’ll ride through th
 e Nature Trail before stopping for lunch at Eatery Long Bay.\n\nAfter lunc
 h\, we’ll begin our ride back.\nWe’ll start with a long climb back up towa
 rds Lonely Track Road—a perfect way to burn off lunch!\nFrom there\, we’ll
  enjoy the scenic ridge road as we make our way towards Gills Road.\n\nNex
 t comes a long downhill section before joining Dairy Flat Highway. You’ll 
 pick up plenty of speed here\, so please make sure your brakes are in good
  working order before we set off.\nWe’ll then turn left onto Albany Highwa
 y and follow the safe shared cycle paths to the Upper Harbour Motorway cyc
 leway.\nFrom there\, we’ll join the dedicated cycleway and enjoy another l
