With winter comes an Ettalong ride. This one involves reversing the usual direction and leaving from St Ives to catch the 9.00 am ferry from Palm Beach to Ettalong, then riding around Brisbane Water to West Gosford, up Karriong Hill and returning to Hornsby via Mooney Mooney, Mt White and PitS.

There is potential for a second breakfast/coffee in Umina before the climb back up Karriong Hill, or at PitS for lunch. Bring plenty of water and food, just in case. 

Meeting point is in the car park opposite Pattos at 7.10 am for a 7.15 am departure.
