Ride from Hornsby along Pacific Highway to Berowra. Through the rises and undulations we gradually climb to Berowra. We then turn off and head to Berowra Heights. From there it is a 4km downhill to the ferry. After a quick stop at the bottom we climb the 4km back up to Berowra Heights for coffee. We then head back to Hornsby via the Pacific Highway.
This ride is suited to those who wish to tackle a longer climb or just to experience the Berowra Hill before doing Gorge and Berowra or one of the BNCC rides. A good ride to do prior to this ride would be A to C.
