Old Pacific Highway — Sydney Northern Twisties to Brooklyn.
Sydney's classic motorcycle road — the original Pacific Highway alignment, decommissioned in the 1990s when the F3 freeway opened. Now ridden almost exclusively by motorcyclists for its tight sequence of sweeping bends descending through Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the Hawkesbury River. The Pie in the Sky cafe is the unofficial weekend meet-up, with hundreds of bikes lined up on the ridge.

Pie in the Sky Cafe CowanRestaurant · The legendary moto meet-up on the ridge. Pies and coffee, valley views, and hundreds of bikes in the car park on Sundays.
Hawkesbury River BridgePhoto Spot · The 1889 steel railway bridge spans the river. Coming up from Brooklyn on the return is the highlight section.
