Description
From Eastwood we ride up Vimiera Road to Macquarie University. After riding through the university campus we follow roads around Macquarie Centre to reach Lane Cove Park. We then enjoy a tranquil ride through the park. After crossing the weir we discover a little used service road which allows us to reach West Lindfield via a short sharp climb, where we may choose to stop for coffee. We then return to Eastwood via the Shrimpton Creek Trail with a further coffee option at Eden Gardens. As the ride features a few climbs we can enjoy guilt free coffee and cake.
Notes: Optional extra short climbs up Riverside Dr, Tunks and Scribbly Gum roads (which have been re-surfaced) or just roll down Riverside drive and wait near the weir and have a rest while the optional climbers puff and pant up the climbs. The weir is closed, hence a slight detour around. We should be back in the latter morning before it gets too hot and time to get onto other commitments
