Special Notes
This big loop of the North Shore and Inner West takes in the Harbour which leave the rider with the feeling of achievement and have undertaking an adventure. However the rider must be comfortable with numerous short hills, and the long climb from Meadowbank to Epping on return (option to leave earlier).
The effort will be rewarded in the middle by coffee on the harbour (subject to cafe availability given Anzac Day closures on the day). (Take a snack in case).
Standard Notes
