Short Description | Paths and quiet roads along Parramatta River, exploring Quarantine Park, through Five Dock town to Iron Cove. Returning along the ridge of the rise between the two waters |
Full Description | We start under the Gladesville Bridge, Drummoyne side -once part of Five Dock farm which bordered the River, Iron Cove, and busy Parramatta Rd. The ride is largely on the flat and uses easy slopes to dip in and out of the bays of the River where remnants of buildings evidence the River's central role in Sydney's early industrial and agricultural endeavours. After passing through Five Dock township we loop down briefly to beautiful Iron Cove and its Bay Run, and back up the rise to ride the quiet roads paralleling Lyons Rd. A quick ride through the parklands takes us back to the Bridge |
