Home in Chatswood to work in North Sydney a couple of days a week and otherwise just for fun really.

I did go for my first long ride on Saturday night ... Chatswood - Galston Gorge - Wiseman's Ferry - Peats Ridge - Brooklyn - Hornsby - Chatswood. Just short of a 200km round trip and it took me about four hours, lots of fun.

Nice! I used to live in wiseman's ferry, and in chatswood strangely enough. The ride from wiseman's to calga is the best part I reckon.

Agreed and max posted speed limit is 90 so it's a perfect run for an L plater.

Dodgy iPhone photo while waiting for the ferry attached ...

Yeah that's a plus for sure. Although enforcement is pretty low anyway.
