Take the train from Redfern platform4 at 7.13 AM to Rooty Hill, starting the ride from the Rooty Hill station at 8.30. There is quite a good cafe next to the station on the RSL side. This segment is complex with lots of turns at 35kms riding to Parramatta and along the Parramatta River to Meadow bank. Some urban traffic is expected closer to Parramatta the bulk of the riding will be on very good quality cycle paths. Lunch will be at Meadow Bank cafe. At the end of the ride take the ferry to the CBD or Train it. Coolish weather so bring layers and rain gear - and snacks as long sections between food opportunities. Check the Departure details with tNSW as schedules change -

An easy and relatively flat morning ride south through Waterloo, Alexandria, Mascot, around Sydney Airport and along the new cycle path through the Barton and Scarborough Park wetlands to Ramsgate where we stop for coffee/pastries. Much of the ride is on cycleways, otherwise along back streets, except for the first short stretch along Dacey Ave and South Dowling St. We meet at the Dacey Avenue Bus Shelter, Kensington (in front of the E S Marks Athletic Field) and leave from there promptly at 7:30 am. Alternatively - meet us at 7:45 am in front of The Grounds on the corner of Bourke Rd and Huntley St Alexandria. Medium pace (20kph av.) ETA return 10:30 am

Explore Proposed New Southwest Metro Path

Explore Proposed New Southwest Metro Path

Seizing on the success of the Greenway, the NSW Government has announced a new 'Active Transport Corridor' along the soon to opened Metro between Sydenham and Bankstown. Much of this corridor already exists, either as paths, footpaths or quiet streets. It remains to be seen what the design is, and what happens at the major road crossings. Announcements are cheap. Come with me as we explore where this corridor will go, what some of the alternatives are. We can view much of the progress of the Metro (the Bankstown Plaza, the stations) and we may get some glimpses of metro train sets being tested. Part of the corridor is also a major freight corridor. Unlike the Greenway, this corridor will link major centres, community facilities and metro stations. We meet at the 'Yarn Circle', the point at Tennent Parade, Hurlstone Park, where the Greenway meets the Cooks River Path. This is just a short ride down from the Dulwich Hill L1 Light Rail terminus (Jack Shanahan Park) and is next to Lang Rd bridge. Meet at 8:30 ready to ride, with a bike in good working order, spare tube, helmet, water and sunscreen. We will ride along the Cooks River Path to Carrington St, we won't actually go to Sydenham station (BTW the Metro is not running that weekend) pause, and then continue on back streets, paths etc, all the way to Bankstown. We do ride on a number of quiet streets, jump footpaths, so it is not a straightforward ride. At Bankstown (we may have coffee at Belmore or Bankstown - to be decided) you have the option of catching the train to Lidcombe, then another train back to the Inner West. I will ride on to pick up the M5 Linear park at Salt Pan Creek. This will take us back to Earlwood, a few hills, then back to our starting point. The full ride is 34 km. I would class it more intermediate rather than beginner.u
