Homebush - Sunday 5th May 2007

Mick and I had planned to head to the Royal National Park to ride a selection of tracks close to Loftus Oval, we met early at Central Station, bought tickets only to discover that the platform was closed and CityRail had decided to do track maintainence - DOH!

So, we racked our brains and decided to ride to Sydney Olympic Park. We left the city via the Anzac Bridge, crusied through the Rozelle Mental Hospital (luckily we managed to escape without them locking us up) and then down to the Bay run and on towards Homebush, was all going well, it's all pretty flat so was fine, until the bike signs got really cofusing and we found ourselves on the highway! Too late to turn back we braced ourselves, peddaled hard and managed to survive the cars speeding past at 100kmph and a seriously scary junction.

We finally made it to Homebush where we crusied around some tracks and eventually found somewhere to stop for lunch. Refuelled we headed back to the city, also via another strange route. For the first 10km or so we were on the Parramatta Road! By some form or a mircle we managed to survive that too and made it home in one piece.

I reckon I rode about 50km and Mick 65km...well done us!
