Northern Rd is an excellent cycle route. Highly recommended. Smooth, nice wide hard shoulder to keep you well away from the traffic. Good to catch up with the bmxbandito for the first time in a few months.

nice work Sandy..

You do as much kms on one ride as i do in 3 or so rides in a week.
One of these days, I'll need to take a day off and attempt my first 200km ride.

fair chance there could be one before the M7C gets finished.

Off my basic comp with no GPS
Time: 5hrs 33mins
Distance: 147.9 klm
Average Speed 26.6 klm/h
I know it's not Thursday but do I get a HTFU wrist band

The new road surface from Richmond to Nth Richmond is a big improvement

" up Lapstone, down Mitchell Pass, up Old Bathurst, down Mitchell Pass, along Castlereagh Rd to N. Richmond and up Bowen Mountain, back down to Bells Line of Rd and up Bellbird Hill to Kurrajong Heights(?) and down again. Along to Agnes Banks, up the Hawkesbury Lookout Rd to Winmalee/Springwood, down the highway, Mitchell Pass (again!), and home."
Sadly have not seen a HTFU band since the sandman took himself off to The Alice. Mine broke a long time ago!

Any chance you guys might be interested in doing something similar to that on a Sunday morning as a group ride?

Route was M7/F4 then up Old Bathurst Rd, down Mitchell Pass, up Lapstone, down Mitchells Pass, up Mitchells Pass to Springwood, down across to Richmond via Winmalee, up Bowen Mt Rd, across to Kurrajong, up Bellbird Hill to Kurrajong Heights plus the Wattle Hill Rd (?) extension as recommended by "mrleasure". (anyone who elects to add that climb on top of Bellbird Hill and invites others to do likewise is obviously a person of sado-masochistic tendencies

Took the liberty of calling it my "Six Cols de Bleu"!
