Riders - Kim, Dave
I had a cold - so didn't want to do anything too strenuous - so a ride
around Homebush Bay with Kim sounded like a good idea. It was a very
pleasant day of riding with plenty to see (and hear).
Above - Google earth GPS plot of the Homebush Bay Loop. This was close
to 40 kms - including the spiral tracks up the three hills. A Google
Maps version including the ride I did along the Cooks River to get to
Homebush Bay can be found here.

the start of the Homebush Bay loop - which ends at 56 kms. Note the
slight drop in air pressure during the day!
