Thompsons Loop (Kaanglang Ascent)
Cycling Route
Details
31.0 km
830 m
This loop track will take you right up into the Otway ranges, through the tall gum forests, overlooking steep mountain valleys. The first 13km is a steady climb up onto the range, where you traverse the main ridge for a few kilometers, before reaching Thompson Track where the long descent begins. There are a few steep little pinches to climb during the descent, before you come out on Kent’s road and back via the Tiger rail Trail. Thanks to Pete Ashton for his contributions for this route.
