At about the same interval as the appearance of Halley’s Comet I decide I should do something about my fitness. An ebike is not an obvious choice but those who know me well understand that at least

Description:

We have 13 riders for next tomorrow.  It will be cold but sunny! Meet time at Turramurra Dentist at 6.30am

Details:

  • Weather forecast looks like it will start at 5deg, go down to 2-3deg and then up to 16. Dress accordingly.
  • We will take a break at The Mountain Grind (TMG) coffee shop at Winmalee 5KM on from the Hawkesbury Lookout. As the climb usually teparates the group this will be a good regroup point and allow Oma and Lunchie to join us who are catching train to Springwood.
  • Scott Telfer has kindly provided a new route once we get to Katoomba.  This adds in a few lookouts and a visit to the three sisters and avoids the land slide which has closed our usual route to Leura.  For those with tired legs, there is an option of going straight back down to Leura and saving about 11km and 250vm
  • Lunch is at the Alexandra Hotel which has a pub garden and apparently can quickly serve up bowls of pasta etc.
  • We will decide at lunchtime whether to turn left at the bottom of our exhilarating descent and head for the Penrith train, or right and ride back to Rouse Hill Tarawang Metro (30km extra ride but 55 mins to Killara instead of 105 mintues).
  • Proceedings finish at the Greengate.   

Meet time at Turramurra Dentist at 6.30am
