Today, the City of Sydney Spring Cycle event was held. But I decided to instead go for a ride in the Royal National Park with some friends. We started out from Sutherland, and rode down to Otford, via Lady Carrington Drive. According to Google maps, this is a 27.6km ride.Unfortunately, one of the team started cramping early in the day, so we had to fight hard, and I'm sure he pushed through several pain barriers. But in the end, we reached our destination. We started out at 11.30am, and finished by 3pm, with an average speed of 8 km/h.
A 1.5 hour wait at Otford station ensued, as we sent out scout for some much needed Coke and water. The view at Otford lookout along with the ocean breeze provided much satisfaction for all.
