2023 Balloon Spectacular (5km, easy)

Celebrate Canberra Day by watching dozens of balloons take off and float over Lake Burley Griffin as part of the Canberra Balloon Spectacular.

We’ll meet at the Peace Bell, watch the balloons soar over the lake, and ride slowly toward Yarralumla on bike paths as these beautiful, colourful balloons drift away.
The surface is mostly flat, but there is a hill past the Southern Cross Yacht Club. Feel free to stop before this. We'll finish at the Yarralumla shops for coffee/tea etc.
This is for all types of people on all types of cycles 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🙌🏼. Wear whatever is comfortable, but expect it to be chilly at 06:30.

NOTE: I’ll check the Events Canberra social media accounts around 6:15am, because if the weather isn’t right for flying, the balloons may remain tethered at the site.
