This is a ride with very few stops, suitable for a rider wanting a of moderate length with only a a couple of hills on the last section.
From Epping, it is mostly downhill to the Parramatta River and mostly flat around Olympic Park. After a coffee stop at Rhodes shopping centre, there will be hills on the homeward leg, mostly a long steady climb with some short sharper pinches. The ride is also a good training ride to do midweek between long weekend rides or for someone regaining fitness after a break, the ride can be done at different paces so check the calendar for the posted pace. Care must be taken on the on-road sections, particularly past shopping centres.
