Flat, fast, and with one of the best ride destinations in Sydney. South via the bay, around through Kurnell, and out to the Cape Solander whale-watching platform — between May and November the whales pass close enough to see from the cliff edge.
Minimal climbing, friendly to anyone stepping up to their first 80km ride. Coffee at Milkhouse Kurnell before the ride back.
First time?
