This is a Combined Activity with the "Wanderers".  The ride is primarily on shared walkways/cycleways. We start at the car park for Ferry Wharf at Rydalmere. ( John Street). After crossing the Silverwater Bridge , we continue to The Armory and then into Olympic Park and Bicentennial Parks. The exact route through these parks may be varied from discussion with riders, with final decisions by the leader.   The ride is mostly flat but there is the option of including some steeper gradients.   From Rhodes we cross the old railway bridge to Meadowbank and return to Rydalmere on the north side of Parramatta River.   Distance 30 Km approximately. The greatest hazards are other park users: walkers, dogs and other cyclists. There are a few tight spots to be negotiable, so there is always the risk of a spill. There may be slippery sections of pathways. There are a number of road crossings. Traffic can be fast moving. Location: Sydney Olympic Park Limit: 10. View

Grade:4/6		Length	17km	320m	Sydney Branch
(SWAG) Geoffrey.L
(Cancelled) We did this stunning walk as a training walk for Cape to Cape.  As it is so beautiful, we are putting it on again in Spring when there will be even more wildflowers, so that others can enjoy it as well.  This walk starts from Manly, pass a couple of beaches, a couple of lookouts, a hole in Bluefish wall.  Then we explore the hanging swamps of Northhead, North Fort, observation post, 2 gun pits, barrel display, and the memorial walk.  We will have morning tea at a prestigious point where you see the beautiful South Head from a distance.  You can even treat yourself to a cup of coffee and a slice.  From there, we will continue our way back to Manly, passing beautiful Collins Flat Beach, amongst lovely houses and ocean views. We can have a good break at Manly seashore for lunch.  Then we will continue along some historic buildings and along the waterfront to the Spit.  The  walk to the Spit is studded with wildflowers at the moment.  It is a wonderful treat to have the sea on your left and the spring flowers on your right.  We walk past more beautiful beaches before hitting The Spit.  For those who are feeling energetic, we will walk along the waterfront, tide permitting to beautiful Balmoral Beach where you can celebrate with a c0ol drink or ice cream. That will be an extra 3 km. Steep and slippery sections View
