Presented in conjunction with Pedal Power ACT, the ACT's cycling organisation.No other city in Australia has embassies. See them, slowly, on this stop-start guided tour of the diplomatic missions in Yarralumla. We’ll start at the Beijing Garden at Lotus Bay, Lake Burley Griffin, and finish at the shops at Yarralumla. NOTE: this route features three steep, short hills. Feel free to push if required.
You'll hear some of the stories and architecture behind embassies and high commissions - including the People's Republic of China, Finland, India, South Africa, and more. See art, and even a little street library replica of the Irish embassy.
Open to all ages, faiths, languages, & identities.

Bring water, bike locks, sunscreen, sunglasses, smiles, and money for the cafe at Yarralumla. There are toilets at the start and finish.
Note - this is a leisurely weekend ride on mostly quiet streets. It’s not a race; nor is it for fitness. Wear whatever is comfortable. Be yourself.
