Sydney - Watsons Bay down to Double Bay

Postby deez » Fri Dec 29, 2006 4:49 pm

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, I think it's worth a run late at nite :) I did it a few weeks ago with a mate in his 206 gti coming down from a party at Watsons Bay at about 2am on a Saturday nite. We had a clear run for ourselves virtually the whole way down. There was no traffic and no people until you get back down to the main intersection at Double Bay. Quick sweeping corners in 3rd and 4th that alternate pretty evenly between left and right handers, somewhat bumpy surface (still acceptable) with corner speeds of between 70-80 km/h. Double lanes on the way down.

I wouldn't recommend the uphill though as it is too bumpy to be enjoyable. The downhill is awesome :D

Have fun!

I used to go down that route sometimes at 2 in the morning when I had my bike.. The only thing is that you get a lot of parked cars on the side of the road.

... parked cars and the entire thing is lined with driveways and turn-offs. It's not a very good place to go at the speed limit, let alone faster. Which is a pity because the curves are very nice :)
