Sydney riders and favourite rides
So who here is from Sydney and where do you ride?<br /><br />I've been trying to find good long rides for base training and some big hills that won't get me run over by nutcase Sydney drivers.<br /><br />so where do you all go and why and perhaps we can get a few people together for a ride<br /><br />

Re:Sydney riders and favourite rides
Another Sydneysider here. I ride from Lane Cove to Glebe return most days as a work commute though I'm hoping to do an extra 10-15miles every 2nd or 3rd day. Just waiting on some motivation lol. I'm not a competitive cyclist - i just enjoy riding and having been off the bike for a while i'm enjoying reducing my spare tyre (gut). You have probably overtaken me on my http://www.pashley.co.uk/landrover/apb.htm<br />cheers<br />rifraf

Kurringai National Park has some good rides, especially in the early hours. Akuna bay , West head and Cottage point. Also from St Ives to Hornsby via Bobbin Head or d oa whole circuit from Nothern beaches to Hornsby via Kurringai National Park.
Old Pacific highway is a good ride, Putty road from Richmond to Colo bridge or Bulga, lonely but good ride. Back road from richmond to Penrith is good also. I've usually done these rides in the early mornings before 9.00am. The traffic in Sydney gives me the shits and it aint gettin better  cheers  |
