Default Good hills/climbs in Sydney area

Hi all

just wondering if anyone out there knows of some good long climbs around Sydney - i'm talking about 7km+ stuff.

Am doing some final prep before heading over to France to follow the tour for the last 2 weeks. I currently ride the usual climbs around Bobbin Head, Terrey Hills and Waterfall National Park, etc, but frankly these aren't long enough or steady enough. I don't mind travelling (within reason) so happy for any suggestions from wider areas.

I've checked out cycle2max, but would be good to hear from people directly as well.

Any thoughts / suggestions would be appreciated
Cheers

Yep Galson Gorge and also Berowra Ferry is another similar ride with lots of hair pin turns which are a good test of your decenting skills

Good luck with the climbing
