            Description

            We head north-west for 20km to East Richmond on backroads then main-road shoulder. We cut thru UWS campus to start south on shoulders of Londonderry Rd, then The Northern Rd. After 37km, we divert right for 7km on paths and back-roads, avoiding the busiest part of The Northern Rd past Penrith. From this point south, The Northern Rd is very “swish”: wide and smooth, and empty-ish of traffic or buildings! Leaders may choose to use the SUP or wide shoulder. After 6km, another diversion right, 25km of rolling countryside, to Mulgoa, Wallacia, and Greendale. (2+km between Mulgoa and Wallacia is shoulderless and sometimes busy). At Bringelly, we rejoin The Northern Rd for 6km before we arc left for 6km through new “Park” suburbs: Oran and Harrington. We rejoin The Northern Rd briefly into Narellan, then we’re 8km on the SUP of busy Narellan Rd, cutting thru another UWS campus to Macarthur Station. Rail-bail options are at 20km (East Richmond), 40km (Penrith), 75km (Leppington: flat 5km away).

            Notes: Inauguration of this long-ish, flowing, scenic ride. With few traffic-lights or climbs, av-speed should approach 22kph.Coffee at Maccas, Cranebrook after 31km; lunch at Bringelly after 75km.Consider parking at Chatswood or Epping for return-train efficiency.
