Barramunga Loop
This loop takes you out up Roadknight Creek Rd, but from there you head South West on Barramunga-Roadknight Rd till you reach Upper Gellibrand Road. This road would take you to Stevensons Falls if you want, but for the 20km loop, turn left which takes you back to the Forrest-Apollo Bay Rd. From here you need to ride the bitumen back to town. This road can be very busy so high vis and lights are recommended. Avoid peak times.
