A thriving cosmopolitan village in a stunning coastal setting. Manly is one of Australia's first and foremost seaside destinations. Manly received its name from Captain Arthur Phillip in 1788 who was so impressed by the "confident and manly behavior" of the local Aborigines that he called the town 'Manly Cove'.

Biking away from Manly
Over the ocean and along the coast to a little place called Sylvia's Uppercrust Pie Shop in Collaroy. The tentative itinerary was set. Rent a bike from Manly Bike Tours and head north towards Sydney Road and continue on Pittwater Road for a savory lunch. Unfortunately, three local maps could not supplement my lack of sense of direction and the pie shop was nowhere to be found. Backtracked a few kilometers with an empty stomach toward Queenscliff and made the most of the afternoon riding along North Steyne Road.
