centurion48 commented on James Hanrahan's blog post new to town"James, our standard suite of 'Around the Bays in a Daze' 2-hour Saturday rides covers nearly all the eastern suburbs bays and beaches from Sydney Harbour to Botany Bay.
We ride from Centennial Park to either Watsons Bay & South Head or…"

Jason Brown commented on James Hanrahan's blog post new to town"Cook's River is a good one. Can get you from Homebush down to Kyeemah and Brighton Le Sands, which in turn takes you to Taren Point, and thence to Kurnell at the tip of Botany Bay, a huge amount of which is designated and/or separated cycleway.…"
Pauline Webber commented on James Hanrahan's blog post new to town"James there are a lot of off-road paths in your area, Cooks River, San Souci and more. Get the book Kylie recommends - "Cycling Around Sydney" (am I right K?) to get you started."
"There's a few above that I am going to try and hit up too. Great info thread."
Robbiejuve replied to James Hanrahan's discussion new to town"Good point Andrew, original post did not mention whether nice clear blue water or brown polluter water was desirable :P"
Tinysaur replied to James Hanrahan's discussion new to town"A few more suggestions:
Tour De East, combination of Herzogs routes, also taking in Botany Sea Wall:
There is good riding north, I prefer to take a train to Turramurra station and start from there rather than hack through the city.
Six Gorges:…"
herzog replied to James Hanrahan's discussion new to town"As you're in Surry Hills, I'll use CP as a starting point.
LaPa.
This ride is Centennial Park out to La Perouse and back. A good ride and doesn't carry too much traffic. Gets the sea breezes too, so doesn't feel too hot.
Also…"
Bob Moore replied to James Hanrahan's discussion new to town"Nice Harbour and Parramatta River rides to the west, around Iron Cove, Drummoyne, Abbotsford, Cabarita, Putney, Concord, Rhodes, Homebush Bay, Newington, cross over Silverwater Bridge and come back on north side to the Putney Punt (runs on…"
"I think I might be in a minority here, but going north over the Bridge from Surry Hills I stay on the Bourke St cycleway, down to William St Darlinghurst, then along the William bike lane, through the Domain to Macquarie st then across the Cahill…"
Robbiejuve replied to James Hanrahan's discussion new to town"Good one John, I too would go north. Another option:
Redfern - Pyrmont - Kent St - Harbour Bridge - Cammeray - Spit Bridge - Balmoral - Middle Head - Chowder Bay - Taronga Zoo
Nice views, nice hills."
"Sorry to be a southern advocate, but from Surry Hills you want water, low traffic and 110 PSI friendly?
Head over to the Bourke St cycleway and head south. Follow it down Bourke Rd (incl Bourke Rd cycleway though Alexandria), then Coward St…"

Hey all,
silly question. Ive just arrived from Melbourne and experienced but only social road rider.
I live on Redfern/Surry Hills border.
I understand there are a couple of rides e.g. Centennial Park, but is there anyway along the water I can ride that is "road cycle friendly"?
