| 2.99km | 0.58km | Sutherland | Just before Woronora Bridge, on your left is an emergency breakdown bay and an entrance to access the shared ped/bike path.

| 8.39km | 0.07km | Menai | Road crossing. | NNE | 20° | 95m |

| 9.22km | 0.2km | Illawong | Route uses the path on the southern side of Old Illawarra Rd and the bridge over Alfords Point Rd. | E | 89° | 101m |
| 9.32km | 0.11km | Illawong | Cross an entrance road for Alfords Point Rd. | SE | 121° | 105m |
| 9.34km | 0.01km | Illawong | Through some bollards and back on the path. | E | 79° | 109m |

| 10.18km | 0.23km | Illawong | Left to cross Old Illawarra Rd. | NNW | 337° | 99m |
| 10.19km | 0.02km | Illawong | I'll be honest, from here the route choices to cross Alfords Point Bridge suck. This route will take you along the very narrow breakdown lane downhill to the bridge. | ENE | 63° | 99m |
| 10.26km | 0.06km | Illawong | Roundabout, turn left into Brushwood Dr. | NE | 44° | 108.3m |
| 10.49km | 0.23km | Alfords Point | Right to the access road to Alfords Point Rd. | NE | 31° | 89m |
| 10.53km | 0.05km | Alfords Point | Watch for vehicles on your left. | NNE | 16° | 95m |
| 10.7km | 0.16km | Alfords Point | Theres a bus stop here and a bit of room to get out of the traffic, a good opportunity to check nothing is loose on your bike as from here to the bridge you'll get up a bit of speed and some of the surfaces suck. | NNE | 13° | 105.9m |
| 10.74km | 0.04km | Alfords Point | You've got a choice between trying to claim a lane in an 80 zone, or using the very narrow breakdown lane that has a dangerous ridge down it. Lots of fun on a rainy windy night. | NNE | 5° | 104.4m |
| 12.42km | 1.68km | Alfords Point | Alfords Point Bridge. From here you can stay on the road (80 zone, no breakdown or bike lane at all) or use the path on the bridges western side. If you use the path watch out for the drains, uneven surface, debri and narrow entrance to the path here. Both truly apalling options. This route will use the path. | NNE | 12° | 41m |
| 12.69km | 0.27km | Padtow Heights | Alfords Point Bridge. If you are using the path you might as well enjoy the view and try to ignore the noise while you are dodging broken glass. If you chose to use the road you are probably spinning out of top gear hoping that car on your arse doesn't take you out. Work has started on duplicating Alfords Point Bridge, we should get a better way across Georges River then. During the work at times the speed limit across the bridge will be 40km. | NNE | 12° | 0m |
| 12.87km | 0.18km | Padstow Heights | So the path across the bridge finishes here. Really. It just finishes. You've got some concrete drains, grass and crash debri to ride on. If you want a break, if you search around you will find the walking track down to the beach. Construction work means you may have to dodge a couple of barriers around here. | NNW | 357° | 18m |
| 12.89km | 0.02km | Padstow Heights | Cruddy drains are about here. | NNE | 13° | 19m |
| 13.54km | 0.64km | Padstow Heights | This route avoids much of the traffic but is steep, winding and poorly lit. Follow the path right under Alfords Point Rd. One faster way through here use the street just to the west, then Henry Lawson Drive. Or just use Alfords Point Rd (much high speed traffic). | NE | 29° | 44.4m |
| 13.7km | 0.17km | Padstow Heights | Sharp right back uphill. | SE | 134° | 42.4m |
| 13.76km | 0.06km | Padstow Heights | Cross the road entrance to Alfords Point Rd, head into Sewell Ave on the other side. Watch for high speed traffic from your left. | S | 175° | 46.3m |
| 14.01km | 0.25km | Padstow Heights | Left into Roma Ave. | NNE | 9° | 50m |
| 14.22km | 0.21km | Padstow Heights | Right into Villiers Rd. | ESE | 96° | 47m |
| 14.33km | 0.11km | Padstow Heights | Left into Dilke Rd. | NNE | 9° | 50m |
| 14.47km | 0.14km | Padstow Heights | Right into Henry Lawson Dr at the traffic lights. This can be a busy road, but from here to the bridge across Salt Pan Creek its downhill and fast. These lights don't stay green for long so you'll have to move quickly to clear the intersection. | NE | 24° | 46m |
| 15.42km | 0.95km | Peakhurst | After crossing Salt Pan Creek, theres a bus stop bay just ahead, head into that and haul on the brakes. | NE | 44° | 14.6m |
| 15.44km | 0.03km | Peakhurst | Onto a steep short path that takes you to Elwin St. | NNE | 13° | 11m |
| 15.49km | 0.04km | Peakhurst | Get onto Elwin St, a quiet back street. | NNW | 347° | 10m |
| 15.99km | 0.5km | Riverwood | Right into Clarendon Rd. | W | 270° | 25m |
| 16.58km | 0.59km | Riverwood | Left into Belmore Rd South. | NNE | 9° | 18m |
| 16.87km | 0.28km | Riverwood | Riverwood Police Station is on your left, continue along Belmore Rd South. | NNE | 9° | 24m |
| 17.04km | 0.17km | Riverwood | Peter Bundys bike shop is on your right (reopened Sept 2007). | NNE | 9° | 24m |
| 17.11km | 0.07km | Riverwood | Traffic lights at intersection of Belmore Rd South, Webb St and Cairns St. Continue along Belmore Rd South. | NNE | 9° | 23m |
| 17.26km | 0.15km | Riverwood | On the southern side of Riverwood Station are toilets, taxi rank, Coles and Woolies, takeaways and Belmontes Pizza (good, has outdoor seating, BYO). | NNE | 21° | 25m |
