CBD Social Ride - Helensburgh (The Burg)

CBD held another social ride yesterday, the original plan was to head to Mount York in the Blue Mountains, but due to the large bushfires raging in the west, it was decided to head south to Helensburg (an hour south of Sydney near Stanwell Tops). There were plenty of hills to make you sweat (whether it was riding up them, or pushing the bike up the really steep single track). This was the first time I had ridden in this area and you could get lost quite easily, so you could have a very long day in the saddle if you don't pay attention on which direction your going, or more importantly on which direction you came from. The ride took around 4 hours and is somewhere I'd like to go back to. Note to self, pack the GPS.
