Wesley Clover & Shirley's Bay
quiet roads, farm views, and light gravel!
If you keep riding past Britannia there's a street light in Carling, if you keep going you'll slowly make your way to Wesley Clover Parks (Google Maps), so far this is all really nice bike paths surrounded by trees on all sides.
If you take the right turn, you'll start riding on a really fun stretch of gravel, ending in Shirley's Bay. A great place to chill and have a picnic.
If you're hungry, Greek on Wheels is not too far π₯
π Driving? There is parking near National Defence or by Shirley's Bay itself.
