Sydney to the Gong - Map

I got the official cue-sheet via email.

Did this map.

It was done with a mouse and so, esp where there is heavy tree cover may be a little off.

Also, if anyone can help me with the exact start finsh of the big hills, I'd appreciate that. (gps co-ordinates)

Anyway enjoy

Does the route take us down the Wollongong bike path? How many bikes? 10,000.

Probably because motorist can't possibly bear having to share it with us.

There is a back up option down the Hwy listed on the cue sheet (Police to determin on the day perhaps that is if the cycleway gets too congested)

Once I get into North Wollongong, I might as well change to a bmx.

Are they going to put the sub 3 hour riders down the bike path?

Different topic
On the way back, should I ride back thru North Wollongong, or ride up Bulli past and then take the princess from there?

Not pleasant - considering the traffic going up.

Does any one know how many metres and the grade?
