This scenic route takes you through the best of Sydney, combining iconic landmarks, stunning coastal roads, and the city’s top cycling spots.

Starting in the Sydney CBD, you’ll ride over the Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House, and through the lush Botanic Gardens—a perfect warm-up with unbeatable harbour views. The ride then follows the coastline to Watsons Bay, offering breathtaking harbour views.

Heading south, you’ll pass Bondi Beach and detour to Bronte Beach, both renowned for their golden sand and surf culture. From here, the route loops inland to Centennial Park, Sydney’s premier cycling hub, where a smooth, tree-lined loop provides a great spot to pick up the pace before heading back to the city.

With world-famous sights, oceanfront roads, and a mix of urban and parkland cycling, this ride is a must for anyone looking to experience Sydney on two wheels.
