The rides below are the special ones starting somewhere other than our three usual locations.

M7 Cycle Path (approx 81km)

This ride starts from the carpark by Café McKels, Norbrik Avenue, Bella Vista.  Start time 7:30am to allow for the drive from St Ives.

The start point is easy to find by exiting the M2 at Abbott Rd just before the M7 begins.  Turn right onto Old Windsor Rd and right again after about 1.5km into Norbrik Drive.

The M7 pathway is one of Sydney’s classic rides and the whole 40km length must be experienced.

From Bella Vista it is gently downhill for the first 10km so remember the last section will be steadily uphill on the way back!  Long sections are wide open and suitable for riding briskly in pairs but always take care and be prepared to single up around walkers and other riders.  Stay alert for the few tight bends and a small number of bollards.

At the far end McDonalds at Prestons can provide toilets, water and coffee if required.  Turn around and return to Café McKels for post-ride coffees.
