Description


A ride on commute routes to the city from NW Sydney using routes on both sides of the harbour.

The ride travels from Epping via backstreets and cycle ways onto the Epping to Gore Hill cycleway, followed by backstreets on the lower North Shore through North Sydney for coffee by the harbour at Milson's Point.

Cross the bridge and through the City to head west via ANZAC bridge, Lillyfield, Five Dock and Concord before crossing the Parramamtta River for a gradual climb up to the finish.

Riders should have confidence in handling a bike in some traffic , be familiar with gearing and climbing hills.

Notes: The return route will be modified to include many scenic tracks along the Parramatta River, adding approximately 4km to the ride. In the event of poor weather, the ride may be cancelled, please check the Bike North website.
