Continuation of Circle Sydney

Segment Four - 7 June : Meadowbank to Obervatory Hill (Barangaroo) Weather looks good. Take the 8.37 ferry from Circular Quay to Meadowbank arriving at 9.30. Alternatively, train from Redfern platform 4 at 7.40 AM. If on the train take the Bay Drive from the station towards the harbour (down hill). Check transport schedules beforehand please. Meet at the Meadowbank Ferry Terminal for a 9.35 start. This segment is 35 kms and relatively hilly. There are lots of toilets, water refill stations and food options up until the Lane Cove cafe at the causeway at the bottom of the hill, then there is nothing on the route until you arrive in Wollstonecraft. There are a couple of steep climbs . One is on Anzac Avenue in West Ryde/Deniston is a 11% climb with a steeper 12% section. The second one is the very long 11% climb out of Lane Cove up Fullers Road. The first safety issue is at the intersection of Station Street and Victoria Road near West Ryde Station. It’s a right turn and a buses only R turn. The Brooke Street Motorway underpass is awkward and slow. My thanks to Fran and Peter for detailing this segment. Watch for updates closer to the departure date.

Final Leg of Circle Sydney

For Bike Leichhardt members and their guests. Barangaroo to Tempe Station via the long way. The **Greater Sydney Bike Trail** (https://cyclesydney.wiki/gsbt/), put out there by one and crafted by many, loops around the outer edges of metropolitan Sydney, showcasing the city’s fantastic shared paths and trails. This 225km loop takes you through some of Sydney’s most iconic areas, with approximately 85% of the route off-road, utilising shared paths and cycleways. Make your way to Barangaroo and meet at the Clyne Reserve swimming pool at 9.30am. This segment will be well known amongst many of you and runs for round 45 kms. The ride will take us to Mrs Macquaries Chair, Oxford Street, Moore Park, Queens Park, Coogee Bay, Maroubra, Malabar, Yarra Bay to Tempe Station. So the trip will involve a mix of cycle ways and roads, some of which may be busy. Please pack a snack and rain gear. Once at Tempe Station you will have completed the circuit and can celebrate by returning home via the train. If you have done the last four legs of the Circle Sydney Ride and you will be on this last leg, please let me know via comments below. Lunch will be at Coogee Bay or Maroubra Beach depending on speed.

Wanda wander

Its time blow the cobwebs away with a riverside, bayside and seaside sojourn on a longer but still a relaxed ride on hopefully a sunny winter day. Meet at the fountain in Lackey St Summer Hill (near the train station) we'll go to the Cooks River pathway then join the new Muddy Creek path and onto the Botany Bay side pathway to Captain Cook bridge. We can stop at Sans Souci for a swift coffee before heading over the bridge to hug the bay again, past Shark Park and across to the seaside, head to the dunes lookout, then on to the cafe at the Wanda Beach SLSC.
