The wind and weather on MS Gong Ride
The MS Gong Ride is Australia’s biggest charity bike ride: thousands of riders from Tempe in Sydney through the Royal National Park and over the Sea Cliff Bridge to Wollongong, 80 km in all, with a 53 km start at Engadine.
Early November on the NSW coast is usually mild. Mornings often have a light westerly, then a north-easterly sea breeze tends to build along the coast by late morning, which helps riders heading south over the Sea Cliff Bridge. The one to watch is a southerly change, which can arrive suddenly with a strong headwind and a drop in temperature. Set your start and pace above: the forecast follows the hours you’ll actually be riding. The wind on every stretch of the course appears once the route is added to this page.
