Route

From Five Dock, the ride will travel along the Cup and Saucer Creek shared path which starts roughly from the Cooks River at Hurlstone Park. On its exit the ride will reach the M5 shared path to Beverly Hills, then exits to go to Oatley, the Georges River, and on to Ramsgate Beach. Return will be via Wolli Creek, Cooks River, and Hawthorne Canal to the start.

Route variation: The graphical route map below starts from Concord. However this particular ride event will start from Five Dock. As such the way we will travel from Five Dock Park to the Cup and Saucer Creek will be different, this difference is documented in the following alternate map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41279207. The alternate map includes a portion from Five Dock Park, passing through Haberfield and Ashfield, to the Cup and Saucer Creek.

Ride is suited to riders who are used to doing similar long distances. Riders should be comfortable undertaking a number of short hills. Also riding on a mix of quiet streets and shared paths, but also passing through shopping strip streets and busier roads.

There is one short but steep hill. Riders are welcome to walk that one, the walk would be over perhaps before the ride leader has had time to retrieve a museli bar from his back pack.
