Coles Express

Get spine-tingling views over the Harbour Bridge as you head north via Pittwater Road, which hugs Sydney’s northern coast up to Palm Beach. Go through lots of little beach villages such as Dee Why, Collaroy, and Avalon before arriving at this lovely haven. It’s quieter and more rugged than the city beaches—you’ll truly feel like you’re on holidays. A long lunch at The Boathouse is the perfect reward after a hard ride. This beautiful cafe-restaurant also sells fresh market flowers and sits on a wharf facing the calm, tranquil waters of Pittwater. It’s a real juxtaposition to your ride up, and the perfect place to spend an afternoon.
