            Description

            The ride starts with the North Shore bike routes and quiet roads to the Spit Bridge. At Seaforth we detour for some views of upper Middle Harbour before joining Wakehurst Parkway to the south side of Warringah Rd. We then take a route through Allambie Heights, Beacon Hill, Narraweena and Cromer to join up with a shared path around Narrabeen Lakes. We cross South, Middle and Deep Creeks taking the path in a clockwise direction. Approximately 5km of this path is unsealed (not advisable for road bikes and hybrids in or after wet weather). The return ride to the start uses a similar more direct route via Spit Bridge. Pace is faster on the flatter sections of the ride where route allows to achieve the steady average. Regroups at the top of longer climbing sections. Short sections of the ride have heavier traffic. In addition to the beautiful lake scenery of Narrabeen Lakes this ride has a number of exciting vistas at the top of some challenging climbs but well worth the look. It is advisable to avoid doing the ride in busy summer weekend periods or school holidays due to high activity on the lake loop. At December 2018 roadworks on Warringah Rd are still to be completed. This ride crossing route may need to be revised during 2019

            Notes: BN Covid-19 protocols apply (https://www.bikenorth.org.au/2020/05/13/bike-north-group-rides-resume/)The return route will follow \"Triple S Ride\" to Freshwater, then head to The Spit via Burnt Bridge Creek as per other BN Rides.Our brunch stop will probably be late at Dee Why, so coffee beforehand?
