Route Challenges & Tips

1. Harris Road / Neales Road Section (Steps 6-9)

Challenge: This sequence involves multiple turns in the Highbrook Business Park area with commercial traffic.

Tip: Don't let the modern, well-maintained roads make you complacent. The business park roads are wide but busy with trucks and delivery vehicles.

2. Springs Road / Preston Road (Steps 13-16)

Challenge: You'll make a slight left onto Preston Road. The "slight left" manoeuvres can be tricky – they're not full turns but require you to follow the road as it branches.

Tip: Pay attention to the signage, maintain your speed, but position towards the left. Preston Road runs through a more residential area, so watch for parked cars and pedestrians.

3. Hellabys Road Roundabout onto Highbrook Drive (Steps 18-19)

Challenge: After the long stretch on Bairds Road (over 6 minutes, 3km), you'll turn onto Hellabys Road and face a roundabout.

Tip: Keep signalling right until you pass the 2nd exit, then signal left to exit. Check your mirrors before leaving the roundabout. Highbrook Drive is a main route through the business park, so be prepared for increased traffic.
