One for the roadies.

This undulating loop takes you west out of the city along the North Western Motorway cycle path. From there, you cross to the North Shore via the Greenhithe Bridge and continue toward Albany Village.

After riding through the village, turn left onto The Avenue, which leads onto Paremoremo Road. Follow this road past Auckland Prison, then continue on to Riverhead. From Riverhead, head back through Taupaki and rejoin the North Western cycle path to complete the loop.

On the return leg, Little Sister Café makes a great coffee stop and is a popular meeting point for many of Auckland’s cycling community.

This loop route for road cyclists circumnavigates the inner western Waitematā Harbour, following scenic roads through the Coatesville and Albany suburbs before heading to the seaside village of Devonport. Devonport is home to the Navy base and offers plenty of great café options for a well-earned stop.

From there, regular ferries take you across the harbour to Auckland’s central city, completing the ride back to where you started.
