Getting there from Maroubra meant a combo of public transport and hitching . Same deal going home .
We must have been keen .
By comparsion , a trip to Warwick Farm meant a train ride to inside the circuit and plenty of shelter from the elements .
Getting there from Dundas Valley was similar. Ride the bike to Eastwood station, train to Campbelltown (changing at Strathfield and Liverpool) with the bike.
Then ride to Oran Park from Campbelltown. After the last race, ride like mad back to Campbelltown to beat the sunset, trains back to Eastwood and pedal wearily home.
Amaroo was much easier - just ride! Mind you, my mid-fifties self might struggle with the hills on New Line Road these days. Maybe when I get my new hips?
