Bobbo Banana

The bobo banana - is an out and back ride from Mount Colah Station through the iconic Kuringai National Park, Bobbin Head.

It is a technical ride involving long downhill sections and sharp corners. You need to be on your game to ride it, ao please if you are just gaining confidence on a bike this one is not for you.

There are coffee choices, the Bobbin Head cafe at the bottom of the hill with gorgeous views across Cowan Creek, or one at the village centre of Turramurra. This ride has 2 long climbs of about 3km at average 5% - bring your climbing legs.

The technical nature of the ride means your bike needs to have good all working parts, tyres, brakes, and working phone. there are few bail points once into the park.

Pace will be controlled - no olympic downhill speeds, the idea is to enjoy the scenery nature and arrive at Mt Colah station on the return all in one piece. We ride only as fast as the slowest rider..

Please look at the map and decide if this ride is for you. It is one of my favourites, but a challenge.

There is water at the Kalkari visitor centre and at the village.

The road is sometimes busy on the weekend, people often tow their boats to the AppleTree bay boat ramp early in the morning. You can usually hear traffic well before they are close by because the only other sound in the park is nature.

Transport to Mt Colah - Platfom 16 from Central the T1 line 07:15 gets to Mt Colah at about 8:15. meeting on the non highway side, there is a car turning circle which is visible from the Station pedestrian bridge.

Return ( the banana shaped ride ) is back to town from Mt Colah trains run every half an hour.
