Day 1 - Sydney Melbourne Ride- Sydney to Campbelltown

After a restful night of sleep it was up at 6.00 am and breakfast before heading out on the ride

It was with great trepidation we looked out the windows to see it was raining….bugger!

Getting our bikes from the garage we were met with a huge downpour of rain and waited for it to subside which it did thankfully!

So off we went in the drizzle which cleared as we moved out of Sydney 

The travel for the day was mainly on bike paths which were pretty well looked after 

The first part of the trip included travel past the Olympic Park which looked completely deserted and frankly a Bit tired!

We tried to get in to the main stadium but were prevented by security guards 

The trip to Campbelltown included stops for coffee near Parramatta and lunch at Leppington

We arrived at the motel at about 3.30 in the sunshine 

The motel is very comfortable with good facilities 

A good day 1 of the ride with 82 kms covered and about 700 metres of climbs 

A great first day despite a wet start!

The Olympic stadium….not a soul in sight!


A wet start!!
