Just because a road has a sign "No Through Road" on it does not mean that this road would not be awesome to ride down. Bailey's Road is off one of Cardinia's iconic climbs A'Beckett road, and is one of the roads less traveled by bike. This road offers beautiful scenery, minimal traffic and a climb which just gets steeper and steeper the further you go.
After turning off onto Bailey Road the climb starts about 200 metres in
The first 1km is a false flat and never raises above 3%
This isn't your typical residential street, to the left side of the road you will see Horses, Sheep even Cows wondering in some of the yards
After you pass the bend (pictured above) the road ramps up
The gradient gradually rises until it nears 12% right at the end
There are stunning views to either side of the road and the properties along here are gigantic
The climb finishes when you reach the court (pictured above)
This is a stunning road to ride up, and one which hundreds of cyclists have passed without knowing its there.
Have a break up at the top, and enjoy the views before you head out on the roads less travelled
