Parramatta River Ramble

40 km Loop, Medium, Flat/Hilly, Roads/Paths, Sealed

This loop provides a tour of the very interesting shorelines of the central Parramatta River, between Rhodes/Meadowbank in the west and Gladesville Bridge in the east. You will cycle though many wonderful parks and reserves and pass numerous picturesque bays and many historic locations. Allow plenty of time to take in the amazing views and appreciate the historical perspective of the significant places along the route.

Start: If using local trains it is best to join near Rhodes Station. You can also access the route from one of the ferry wharves at Abbotsford, Cabarita, Kissing Point or Chiswick.  Its free to take your bike on all these services.   Otherwise the route can be joined anywhere along the loop.

Length: 40 km, but the route can be modified/ shortened easily as required.

Grade: Medium - mostly tarmac, some steps, short steep climbs, a few narrow paths.

Thank you to John Fuller for creating and documenting this ride.
