Description
The route then follows the Pacific Hwy South for 1 km before joining a dedicated bike track for another 1.5 km back to Tuggerah Station and the train back to Hornsby.
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 where there is sometimes fast moving traffic. We have the option here of using a shared path adjacent to the Highway for much of its length until Toukley where we rejoin rural back roads again.
There are minimal climbs along this route with a total height gain of 200
Notes: Ride will start after arrival of 6:45am train from Central (7:23am Hornsby, 8:31am Tuggerah). Long term weather forecast is 12-22 degrees, 40% chance of 0-2mm rain. Ride will be cancelled if raining by 6am on morning of ride.
