Cycling Rockhampton: Routes and Trails
Cycling Rockhampton: Routes and Trails. Cityville Apartments & Motel is the central Rockhampton base for visitors building a Rocky-and-Capricorn-Coast trip — 21-23 Bolsover Street, central CBD, two minutes' walk from the Fitzroy River and Quay Street's heritage dining strip, with self-contained apartments, motel rooms and townhouses suited to families, FIFO workers, corporate stays and weekenders alike.
Rockhampton's cycling infrastructure includes the riverside paths along the Fitzroy providing flat, sealed cycling for the morning exercise and the afternoon commute, and the Berserker Range trails providing the mountain biking that the elevation and the bush tracks deliver for the fitness rider. The riverside path extends from the barrage upstream through the parks and along the Quay Street frontage — the flat circuit that the casual rider, the family group, and the fitness cyclist use at their own pace. The Berserker Range climbs through bush to the ridge viewpoints. The road cycling on the highway shoulder toward Yeppoon provides the distance that the serious cyclist's training requires, though the road-train traffic demands the visibility gear and the defensive riding that shared regional highways require. Bring your own bike or hire locally. The accommodation's secure parking accommodates the bike overnight, and the kitchenette supports the nutrition that the training ride demands.
