Four Bridges On the Parramatta River
Details
We will ride over 4 major bridges on a trip along Parramatta River's north shore, crossing the Silverwater Bridge to return to Blackmore Oval via the southern shore
The bridges are the Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Silverwater Bridge and Bennelong Bridge. We will pause to reflect on the history of each bridge and at other points of interest along the way.
The distance is approximately 40 km and with stops including a café, should take around 3½ hours.
The route is undulating in places with some moderately steep but short grades. We will be mostly on off-road paths but some street riding is necessary where paths are not linked yet.
Riders should have a bike in good mechanical order, carrying water and a spare tyre tube. Bike helmet essential.
