Description
Notes: This is a delightful romp through many of the city's green spaces. It has some spectacular views (the Quay, the Opera House, etc) and a lovely loop through Centennial Park. We glide down some charming, quiet backstreets in Paddington, admiring the cottages and terraces. Mainly, it is relatively flat but it does have some big climbs, which we will take at an easy pace and wait for everyone to do in their own time. E-bikes welcome (in fact, you may appreciate them on those few hills) however be warned there are two sets of stairs we have to carry our bikes up, one with 50 steps. Mostly we are on bike paths but you also need to be confident occasionally riding in live traffic.
Pre-registration is required through the Bike North website link
