About this event

This ride STARTS at HORSNBY turnaround at Reptile Park to Bobbin Head and ending ride at Cameron Park ,Turramurra.

 

We travel along the Pacific Highway to Pie in the Sky after which the bulk of our descending and climbing begins.

The descents and climbs of both sides of Mooney Mooney are along quiet isolated roads. However, care needs to be taken as the roads can be quite slippery and there can be significant amount of debris.

 

There are no bail out points after Cowan station and one needs to make sure that their bikes and bodies are sound lest you risk a very expensive taxi ride home.

 

Return up Brooklyn and along the highway can be challenging as traffic is often heavier and the legs wearier. The ride then detour at Mount Colah, riding up Bobbin Head East and ends at Cameron Park, Turramurra.

 

Stops : This is a long ride so there are a number of stops


1. Reptile Park - After 52km for toilet and water refill. Refill from the wash basin in the toilet . Ps : need to tilt your water bottle while refilling as the spout and bottom of wash basin is very shallow.
