0km 0km Riverwood This was the route for the July 30 2006 ride to William St. Cyclists assembled 9:00am opposite NSW Premier Morris Iemmas office of his electorate at 48 Thurlow St, Riverwood. Ride left 9:30am sharp. NSW Premier Iemma is also the Member for Lakemba. Cyclists travelled from his office at Riverwood to William St, Kings Cross, to let him know we didn't want cycle lanes removed as a result of the Cross City Tunnel fiasco.

16.34km 0.03km Mascot The start of Coward St. There is a shared ped/bike footpath, but honestly its the pits, lots of driveways to cross, trees and poles to avoid. Weekends there is little traffic along this part of the street, its safer on the road. ESE 100° 7m
16.85km 0.51km Mascot Traffic lights at intersection with Kent St, continue along Coward St. ESE 99° 5m
17.15km 0.3km Mascot Mascot station is only about 100m north of this point. Please note the satellite map is more accurate than the street map for this area! There is anew bit of road past the station just north of here. Mascot station is underground. There is both a lift and escalators to the ticket office level underground. Steps from there to the paltforms. There are lifts from the ticket office level to the platforms, but I have found them to be a bit unreliable. ESE 100° 17m

25.01km 0.97km Moore Park Righto, this could be a difficult spot. With a small group, take them to the west across the crossing. With a large group it may be better to take them to the east, get them to line up on the path beside Moore Park Rd. Choose the right gap in the traffic to get them onto Moore Park Rd, cross ANZAC Pde and South Dowling St with the lights. WNW 286° 54m
25.39km 0.38km Surry Hills Get into right lane, turn right at lights into Bourke St. NW 312° 49m

27.33km 1.35km Darlinghurst (Kings Cross) Arrive at Kings Cross midday near those ugly stick and ball sculptures close to the intersection of Victoria St and Kings Cross Rd. The big neon Coke sign is only maybe 20m to the north. We will stop here for Susages Against Stupidity till 12:45pm, then a quick spin on William St and hopefully Kent St We will return to Riverwood via a similar route, leaving Kings Cross 2:00pm. If you want to get the train between Kings Cross and Riverwood, there is trackwork on the Eastern Suburbs line, use a City Circle station. S 169° 74m
