Road Cycle Route: University Loop

Highlights

Separated cycleways, local streets and shared pathways make this an enjoyable loop. This flat ride takes you through Mooloolaba, under the Sunshine Motorway into Mountain Creek and around to the University. The ride borders the Mooloolah State Forest and showcases diverse habitats iconic to our region. There are trails in here so come back later for a mountain bike ride or a walk! Use the separated cycleway back into Mooloolaba for an easy urban ride.

How to get there

Start and finish at the Wharf in the heart of Mooloolaba. Ample parking is available.

IMPORTANT: On-road cyclists should always ride with caution and be aware that conditions can change at any time. Cyclists using rural roads may encounter heavy vehicles and should be aware that roads can be narrow and undulating with varying shoulder widths. Notify someone of your intended route and be prepared with water, food and sun protection.
