Description


Sydney Harbour is a delight to explore, being one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world. This tourist ride will take riders along both sides of its sparkling blue waters, green foreshores, under, and over its iconic bridge. Being a hilly ride, the tackling of any hill will be rewarded by visiting and stopping at numerous spectacular lookouts. Stops will be selected by the ride leader from the following route: Harbour Bridge, McMahons Point, Sawmillers Reserve, Berry Bay lookout, Balls Head Reserve, The Coal Loader, Lavender Bay, Luna Park, Kirribilli and Admiralty Houses, Circular Quay, Lady Macquarie Chair, Hyde Park, Tumbalong Park, The Goods Line, Jones and Johnstons Bay, Pyrmont Bridge/Darling Harbour, Barangaroo. To achieve the planned overall time duration for this ride, a leader might also remove selected portions, e.g. Lady Macquarie Chair, parts of Kirribilli, or part of the Jones Bay through to Pyrmont Bridge. There are many convenient early exit points (train stations) available nearby the route: the train line from Waverton to and around the City Circle. Additionally, riders can turn around at any point and retrace the route. If a rider leaves the ride, they should let the ride leader or sweep know BEFORE leaving the ride, ensuring the person acknowledges they were heard!

Notes: Special extended stop at the event "Sculpture At Sawmillers McMahons Point". Includes many hills, and many tourist stops around the harbour. The order of the route stops may be altered on the day. In the event of poor weather the ride may be cancelled, please check the Bike North website.
