Sydney to Wollongong - 90km bike ride

Call me crazy but on Sunday the 5th of November I am doing a 90km bike ride - Sydney to Wollongong



This is no ordinary bike ride - there are major mountains to negotiate on this course as the map of the elevation below illustrates - and they tell us its "one of the most scenic sporting events this country has to offer".



So the starting venue is Sydney Park in St Peters - almost right outside my front door - thats the easy part getting to the start line. The difficult bit of getting to the finish line - in Wollongong, 90kms away.

The map on the left shows the route we will be taking - cycling south via Brighton Le Sands, the Royal National Park and the spectacular new Sea Cliff Bridge. I quote from the website "When you feel that sea breeze on your face you’ll know it’s been worth the wait" - I'm not so sure that it will be as enjoyable as they make out but we'll see.

Oh and a special thanks to Ollie O'Flanagan for his very helpful tip - he recommends steaks down the jocks to ward off saddle chaff

My team mate Hayley Golden is gonna be my companion on this journey and she will be doing it on her beautiful bike called Belle. - click here for a pic!
