Rider - Dave
After I enjoyed a nice ride along the Hawkesbury the Saturday
before, a
friend pointed out the Audax
ride
for 8 May was a 150km loop from
Hornsby to the Hawkesbury and back. Looking at the map - it looked like
a great ride. I rode almost the same route - but in the reverse
direction and ended a little earlier at Beecroft (because of very bad
traffic on the road to Hornsby).
A map of the ride can be found here.
A profile of the ride and Google Earth images can be found here.
