Harbourside East, optionally Bondi ++

A wander harbourside, from Walsh Bay to Camp Cove Beach, then The Gap (31km, +350M). Riders can then catch a ferry from Watsons Bay to CQ, or ...

continue UP to Dover Heights, DOWN to Bondi and Bronte, UP to Bondi Junction (total 44km, +600M). Riders can then catch a train to town, or ...

continue to Centennial Park, Entertainment Quarter, Central (exit option), Obs Hill (total 57km, +710M).

After the first flat 5+km, this route suits only e-bikers, mountain-goats, and masochists (even just to Watsons Bay). No long climbs, but plenty of sharp ones. Please don't come if you can't climb "enthusiastically".

Coffee stop near Rose Bay Wharf after 21km, with maybe a second refreshment stop at Bondi Junction.

Some parts of the route are on paths and backstreets, but some parts have traffic and riders must be OK with vehicles passing.

Several loo/water options on the route. Rail-bail options early, and ferry-bail options after 15, 17, 21 and 29km. Plenty of photo stops.

Bring a bike in good working order, puncture repair equipment, water, sunscreen.

Cycling can be an enjoyable and exciting activity. However, like many recreational activities that require physical exertion, cycling carries with it the risk of physical injury. The risks associated with cycling include the risk that:

• you may be involved in a collision with people, animals, objects and/or vehicles;
• you may lose your balance;
• you may suffer from the effects of heat, cold, wind, rain and other weather conditions;
• you may suffer from physical exertion;
• you may become separated from the cycling group; and
• you may fall from your bicycle.

These risks may result in death, bodily injury, disability, property damage and economic loss. There are other risks to which you may be exposed. You should ensure that you wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment, including a helmet.

By participating in the cycling activities provided by the organising Bicycle NSW Affiliated Bicycle User Group, you agree:

• to take full and sole responsibility for any person under the age of 18 years who accompanies you in these cycling activities;
• that you participate at your own risk; that the agreement for services provided to you by the organising Bicycle User Group does not include any implied or express warranty that the services of the organising Bicycle User Group will be rendered with due care and skill or that any materials provided by the organising Bicycle User Group in connection with the cycling activities will be fit for the purpose for which they are supplied;

Children – these rides are not a child minding service. Every rider under the age of 18 must be under the direct supervision of a parent/guardian. The parent/guardian must watch and control their children for the duration of the ride. The parent/guardian agrees to take full and sole responsibility for their children’s safety. Please contact the Ride Leader in advance to discuss the suitability of a ride for your children.
