hi

i live in reverwood and would like to get out of my door and cycle all the way to cronulla, or maybe beyond, without having to go through dense traffic roads. I have heard a lot about boundary road to oatly and over the como bridge and through the national park. vBut thats about it.

Can anyone descride this route, or direct me to a map?
thanks all

i live at panania and regularly do weekend morning rides out to kurnell. up the m5 to bexley rd, through the back of turella, then west botany road to taren point road and over taren point bridge then down capitan cook drive. early mornings on the weekends the traffic is sparse. peak hour week days, doesnt matter on the route traffic will be heavy on the way back.

checked out that map just after i posted the question... should have thought before i spoke. Thanks for the feedback. will try something liek that

I do a loop which starts and finishes at cronulla- and I try to avoid all main Roads if possible. Not a high speed roadie type thing, more back streets but it's still a decent distance. Starting at riverwood, I'd suggest:
Belmore rd-veer left at Jaques rd & up the hill to Forest rd
straight across lights & down forest rd
turn left into Issac st straight to Roberts rd
R into Barr st, L into Balmoral rd then R into glen st
L into Acacia st, R into Seaforth av then L into Woonona pde
Under rlwy line at Oatley then R into Oatley pde... then Cycleway to Como

From Oatley- Cremona rd, L into Tivoli esp L into Oyster bay Rd
R into Carvers rd then to Bates dr all the way to Princes hwy
Cross hwy and go down Garnet rd then left into Bellingara rd, R at Box rd
Cross Port Hacking rd then follow Belgrave esp and Holt Rd through Sylvania waters to Taren Point.
Cross Taren Pt rd, Down Toorak av, R into Alexander av, L into Bay rd
R into atkinson, L at Paraweena and at the end is the Bike path which runs behind the industrial estate along captain cook drive to Cronulla...

As I said, not the most direct route- but a nice ride.

thanks mate. looks great. I prefer the quiet streets. Will try it once my lower back pain goes away.

I have finally surveyed the route that you proposed to Cronulla, with a bit of a variation. I went up bonds road, left at Forest, right at Morts road, left into Boundary, right into Oatly Parade, over the Como Bridge, and after that all the way in accordance with your directions. I did not go all the way. was doing a leasurly pace, trying not to get lost. Turnded around at Captain Cooks Drive. But this ride is great, and you could go all the way to Kurnell. I love that. Surely, I will be doing it often. One thing i need to mention here is that THERE ARE SOME KILLER HILLS ALONG THE WAY. Great training.
Thanks again.
