Summary

Experience the serene beauty of rolling hills and picturesque countryside, just a short 12 km from the city. This makes for an ideal route any day of the week!

Let’s dive into the first of many fantastic Brookfield routes: the renowned “Long Finger.” Brookfield is a network of diverse roads, or “fingers,” each offering unique challenges—some longer, some more undulating, and others quite steep.

Our journey begins with the most popular segment—the “Long Finger.” You’ll start by taking the Centenary Bikeway from the city, which you’ll notice is already a bit hilly from the start.

We’ve crafted a route that steers clear of busy roads, guiding you from Kenmore to Brookfield. As you pass the large roundabout in Kenmore, you’ll immediately feel the change in scenery: the road becomes quieter and more inviting.

The “Long Finger” segment begins after you pass the Brookfield General Store and the subsequent roundabout. This 10.86 km stretch features rolling hills with an average gradient of 1.3% and occasional steep sections up to 12%. It’s perfect for interval training with minimal interruptions.

While the scenic Brookfield ride is delightful, there’s no grand destination at the end of the “Long Finger”—it’s a no-through road that leads to a private residence, so it’s best to maintain a low profile.

The return journey is a blast, offering a more thrilling experience with downhill sections, less climbing, and plenty of cruising on winding roads.

To top off your ride, you can enjoy a well-deserved break at the Brookfield General Store, where you can grab a coffee before heading back to the city.

For your return trip, we’ve designed a route through Kenmore, avoiding Moggill Road, for a safer and more pleasant ride along the bikeway.

Tips:

-. Do Not Stop at the end of the long finger as its part of residential

-. Be prepared for warmer kit in winter due to the temperature at Brookfield tend to be cooler than the city
