Journey To Five Ways

**Five Ways** This is a slow 30km urban ride across Sydney. You must be a club member and able to handle urban traffic. Most of the riding will be on quiet back streets. We meet at Rozelle Bay Light Rail Station at 10 AM then ride to Martin Place via the parklands, then Pitt Street cycle way to inner Woolloomooloo . From there we will follow around back streets to Victoria Street to arrive at Five Ways for coffee in Paddington. From Five Ways we find our way to Centennial Park for a toilet stop. We then travel the back way to Redfern and on to Stanmore Station where this adventure ends. The ride is typified by contrasts and many little streets.

Four Bridges On the Parramatta River

We will ride over 4 major bridges on a trip along Parramatta River's north shore, crossing the Silverwater Bridge to return to Blackmore Oval via the southern shore The bridges are the Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Silverwater Bridge and Bennelong Bridge. We will pause to reflect on the history of each bridge and at other points of interest along the way. The distance is approximately 40 km and with stops including a café, should take around 3½ hours. The route is undulating in places with some moderately steep but short grades. We will be mostly on off-road paths but some street riding is necessary where paths are not linked yet. Blackmore Oval is close to the northern end of the Greenway and close to the Bay Run. Only 250 metres from Leichhardt North Light Rail station. There are opportunities to join public transport for those needing to depart the ride early: Olympic Park ferry wharf, Rhodes Station, Concord West Station. Riders should have a bike in good mechanical order, carrying water and a spare tyre tube. Bike helmet essential. For inquiries or messages on the day of the ride, call or text me on 0452582635
