Introducing the West City Gritty.
A series of largely off road routes to ride in western Sydney.
This is level 1.
A moderate difficulty ride with minimal hike a bike (maybe none if you’re good enough, I wasn’t).
It really showcases everything western Sydney has to offer. From newly built suburbs with luxury cars on the street to derelict housing commission properties with the burnt out remains of vehicles long forgotten. Glistening new cycleways that are used to advertise the progressive and proactive council active transport strategy and 4wd carved rutted tracks through unused council land dotted with surveillance cameras. Roll past some of our oldest colonial buildings, significant infrastructure that enabled Sydney to become the city it is today and sites of indigenous significance!
It’s a true western Sydney cycling experience riding over highways and rivers on brand new cycleways, along state of the art board walks but also through shopping centre car parks and a waterlogged abandoned golf course.
