Description
Because this is a well known recreational area, there are numerous rest areas along the route equipped with cafes, toilets and water.
The route is along mostly quiet back roads with the exception of the Central Coast Hwy bike lane/break down lane where there is sometimes fast moving traffic.
Please be aware you have to be self sufficient as there are no viable bail out points. It is recommended to have two spare tubes, some snacks and sufficient water.
Notes: Ride will start after the arrival of the 09:32 train which leaves Hornsby at 08:23. Please note this ride will NOT be run at the higher end of the pace advertised as I have an ankle injury that I do not want to aggravate. This is a suitable ride for those riders comfortable at 19-20kph but want to try a longer distance.
