there seems to be a perfect run alongside the M2/M7amp; (Sydney) - purpose built smooth bitumen bike track, undulating hills for a bit of push, downhill and pumping - a fair length too
Not sure which direction would offer the longest runs, the M7 part seems pretty even but plenty of up and down ,)
there also seems to be rest stops/ BBQ areas,)

yeah, know what you meen... i've also spied a ditch , some new estates and a short but fast hill or two off to the sides... I have a feeling north to south might be best? maybe a some google earth contour mapping might help... any opinion?

yeah, here's an elevaton map of most of the M7,
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/1958160
In short,
Elevation Gain:1,824 ft
Elevation Loss:1,886 ft
Min Elevation:81 ft
Max Elevation:421 ft
(that's a return trip, but still balanced, looks a little better N to S

how many k's is the cycle track?
maybe just do it both ways, that's a good way to find out which direction is better ;-)

i drive past this 4 times a week and it is very nice. but only do the M7 the M2 is old and doesnt have a proper path. i would suggest starting at maybe horsley park and going to Glenwood that is the nicest part.
that would be alot of fun. if only i could keep up! i am new to skating and arn't the best pusher in the world.
Cheers,
Ryan

I have skated some of this with mick white he lives round the corner nobody uses it but its a hard slog flat with ups and downs and long sections of slight gradient where you have to get off and walk. Seeing as most people would split up i reckon you could plot a course through the city incorporating bike tracks beach promenades skateparks picking up your flags or get stamped along the way finish line maybe bondi bowl . Make it like the Bridge to Bridge of skateboarding . Put up big $$$$$ get bowl riders street dudes. I reckon you could get at least 500 riders imagine the sprint to the finish
