Maquarie Pass is one of our favourite supported rides. Anyone needing a lift meets at Turramurra Cyclery (pre organised) at 5.45am to pack the team van. After loading the bikes we depart at 6.00am sharp for the drive to Bowral. On arrival (7.30am) whist your support team unload the van coffee is the order of the day from the bakery.

After a riders briefing we leave Bowral Post Office heading out past Bong Bong race course. Turning left at Illawarra Highway then heading through Robertson and turning right at the famous Robertson Pie Shop towards Jamberoo Pass. Taking care down Jamberoo Pass (very steep descent) we turn left at the T intersection. A short climb up past Jamberoo Recreational park and down into Albion Park.  Stopping at Albion park to refuel before tackling the 12km climb up Macquarie Pass. Macquarie Pass is a moderate climb that makes you work the whole way up.

Once arriving at the Robertson pie shop we wait to see how much time we put into our so mates or they put into us. Make sure you admire the breathe taking view from the top (only if the climb hasn't already taken it away).  After you have regained your breath we travel back along the Illawara Hwy and turn right back towards Bowral.  When returning to Bowral (12.30pm) we all enjoy a well earned lunch break before heading back to Sydney. Return time to Turramurra around 3.00pm.
