This morning I noticed a chalked centre line, so paint shouldn't be far away.s-s-a wrote:It's lovely, I have already ridden it on Easter Saturday - the construction fences were easy to get around. It was pretty much finished unless they were going to paint a centre line on it.

Spoke to a surveyor there (no other workers) who said that yes it is open but not officially open !
Signs and path markings have to be done yet.
Guy indicated that contrators have unofficially opened it to prevent vandalism.. i didnt enquire further so not sure what that means.
Its nice path and yes its raised to prevent flooding.
Regards

I'm a bit confused. I'm pretty sure I found the start of it off Dairy Rd, but then the new path only went for a few hundred metres before I ended up on residential roads through the back of Kingston foreshore. Did I miss a lakefront path or something?

Its a heap better now and you can steer well clear of the causeway . I Accidentally rode in there a few years back and by god did I turn around quickly . The current route still takes you by the morgue though, always some nice sites to see

Unless it's been raining in which case there is a massive long puddle completely blocking the road where CCC used to have the crit start/finish.you can steer well clear of the causeway

That matches my measurements, I do Lennox Gardens (while they are doing the Comm bridge works) but skip the Museum leg. So prob with both the longer options it would clock in around 29km.s-s-a wrote:I measured 28.5km yesterday. I didn't go around the edge of the lake at Lennox Gardens (just along the Flynn Drive bike path) but did take the detour out towards the Museum instead of up and over the hill at the ANU.
Now i've got 15km, 20km or 29km options when i go around the lake
