Vung Tau - Binon Park
Distance: 160 kms
An early ferry or VIP bus to Vung Tau from Saigon and this could be a day of two great Vung Tau loops for the weekend. Always got bikes by appointment ready to go there and so much more rewarding than battling out of and back into the city.
A morning and afternoon map today, around 85 km each. To detail the most interesting route there are far too many pins required to do it in one. Both are quite different showing the diversity through this farmland region.
(A & B) keep you on the coast
(C) is a memorial cross in memory of the 18 Australian and 245 Vietnamese soldiers killed In the August 1966 Battle of Long Tan.
Some lake areas over the day and plenty of lush farmland also.
The lunch lake has a great restaurant though can be a long wait for meals. Large portions though so mindful of that when ordering. Get drinks on ice as soon as you get there. Besides years of attempting to educate them around refrigeration benefits, still haven’t grasped it🙄
The run back to Vung Tau 84km is more open and with less photo stops so a bit shorter time wise.Â
(A) is a great little run on hard top up a mountain. Continue further past the water stop and onto dirt and there’s plenty of trails to explore if on the right bike too.Â
(C & D) Are two of my favourite seafood restaurants, marked primarily to take you the best way into town with great views.Â
(D & E) Takes you along the back beach and to the Twisted Throttle TavernÂ
