Mount Buffalo is a popular destination for road cyclists due to the challenging yet scenic climb to the top of the mountain. From the tollbooth at the base of the mountain to the Mount Buffalo Chalet it's a 20.9km climb at an average gradient of 4.8%. The climb can be extended by following the road around to the right at the Chalet turn-off and continuing to Dingo Dell or The Horn.

Famous quotes containing the words road and/or cycling:

    The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
    Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
