This ride is not that long (about 45 km Hornsby to Hornsby) but has two solid climbs and some steep downhills, ...
a great way to spend the day and at the top on the other side of the gorge is mx5 mania, not bad if you ask me a great drive to a great place.

Used to drive down there every weekend or two when I played cricket for Hornsby. Love having a blat down there. Helps knowing every twist though... Also be weary about one damp corner on the Galston side. Coming down the hill it's a sharp left hand (almost hairpin) corner and there's a little waterfall tucked into the bushes against the cliff-face which keeps that area a little dewy.
The Hornsby side has 7 or 8 hairpins with some twisty bits between. Galston side has no hairpins (apart from the above-mentioned corner) and is full of higher speed twisty bits and two longish straights.
Lots of fun!

Love those hairpins with a recommended speed limit of 5kph

Did it last Sunday with an SE. I had not dríven that road for some 20 years but I was so much fun!!
edit - I did the road this morning. Heavy fog does not improve the road ( nor Berowra Waters ).
