Spun my usual route from Taranna through Masons Point to Eaglehawk Neck and was about to point the bike upwards when I glanced across the isthmus to Old Jetty Road&#8230; it has light undulations, no major climbs, the bitumen terminates soon after the junction becoming gravel then a fire trail before ending at a locked gate some 6\u00a0kilometres\u00a0distant.
