Yeah, I saw it. Well done but I think you must pretty brave riding
all the way down the Pacific Hwy! I once rode back from the CBD
to Turramurra. What I really hated was how on Pacific Hwy, it merges
from 3 lanes to 2 whenever they needed to allow cars to turn right.
I think they should just make cars do 3-points turns like bikes :-).

Aah, that's why I turn off at Chatswood on the return trip. Coming down
the highway isn't bad at all. I've done it in all conditions from 5:00am
and 50 cars seen in an hour (well not many anyway) through to carpark.
You need to know a few tricky spots to hold speed, but there's nothing
particularly stupid. As you've suggested though, coming back is a
nightmare. Merging uphill just doesn't happen, so I found an alternate
route.

I should put in the back way between Chatswood and Gordon, which isn't too
unpleasant. Unless you snap a chain and derailleur halfway along the
undulating bit.

Do you know if they will open it again?

No idea, but I never had a problem with the highway that I wouldn't get
anywhere else.
