Has anyone tried riding this?
I went yesterday afternoon. After reading some reviews from BikeNorth and CAMWEST people, I decided to start it from Hammers Rd and went down to the M7 cycleway entrance. Overall, it is a good little cycleway. It is a shame that they didn't connect it up properly between Hammers Rd section and Westmead end near CocaCola. The Winston Hills section has a fair bit of dirt and overgrown weeds. Signage crossing Fitzwilliam Rd is poor. Now I know that I am meant to cross Fitzwilliam and ride up a service road to cross Windsor road under a bridge. I will further investigate the section between cocacola and hammers road or has someone done this? I live in Oatlands, so I went via Lake Parramatta the up Church St turning off near the industrial section Boundary Rd and cutting up onto Hammers Rd from Kleins Rd.

As I wrote on Bike North Just ride over the bus bridge... It is better to risk a fine than risk your life along Old Windsor Rd. SCotty |

I thought the same, but during my short stint on the Tway, I saw 2 patrol cars... and it was a Sunday! Also, there are cameras all along the way. For me, I am happy to take Hammers Rd and head home via that way It is just a shame that the cycleway is not linked up
