Downhill Biking Sydney

Mogo

(REVISED date) Pastry & Pedals: Kings Cross Mkt Loop

Total: 40km We'll roll out from Tempe and navigate through Mascot to link up with the start of the Bourke Street Cycleway. From there, it's a seamless, mostly separated run all the way north through Waterloo, Redfern, and Surry Hills, dropping right down into Woolloomooloo. Once at the bay, we’ll tackle the brief but punchy climb up into Potts Point, arriving right at Fitzroy Gardens. We are parking the bikes by the El Alamein Fountain to explore the vibrant Kings Cross Saturday Market - famous for exceptional artisan baked treats, fresh pastries, and boutique sweet treats. Grab a coffee, score a top-tier pastry, and relax by the fountain for breakfast. Heading home, we’ll cruise through the heart of Kings Cross and cut up through the elegant but hilly backstreets of Paddington We’ll cross over into Moore Park to pick up the green infrastructure tracks, eventually filtering back onto the Bourke Street Cycleway for a familiar, clear run all the way south to the cars at Holbeach Avenue. Essential Checklist Helmet: Mandatory (standard Australian compliance). Spares: Bring a bike puncture repair kit, spare tube that fits your valves, and a mini-pump/CO2. Hydration & Weather: A full water bottle. While it's August, morning coastal breezes can be brisk, so a windproof layer is recommended. Payment: Card/cash for your market goodies. Ride Leader: Adeline Chua All communications regarding this ride will be handled on the St George BUG MeetUp platform

It can also help improve your sport climbing technique. Bouldering routes are set for beginners up to advanced climbers.
