Good hills/climbs in Sydney area

[Dini77]

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

Have you tried Bells Line of Rd Heading out of North Richmond to Bilpin Nice? little challenge there. Or even the Putty Rd from widsor to colo way nice couple of climbs there as well.
Good luck with the climbing
