Sunday, 29 Aug 04, 8am from St Ives for Brekkie at Church Point 'n Sag Stop at Narrabeen - return via Wakehurst Parkway/Forest Way - 78km - ETR 12:10pm

  • Care:  clockwise route of Akuna Bay on way to Church Point Nosh Stop after 40 clicks

  • Ride Leader: Brian Willis 9807.6439     Ride Organiser: Phil Johnston   9498.3684 hm

  • Hardcopy these directions and bring on Sunday

  • RTA paints a solid centre-line on single lane roads when there isn't sufficient vision to overtake. 
    'Ipso facto'
    always cycle single-file on solid centre-line road sections.

  • Keep to LHS.  Get off the road at Sag Stops

  • Cycling without Public Liability cover is as stupid as driving without 3rd Party - join Bicycle NSW for PL insurance

Scribe's rap-up of Sunday, 23 Aug, Cinque Montagnes - 17 starters

 

On a warm, balmy brill Springish morn', 16 crew assembled at Grumpy's Cafe after 32km (from Nth Turra') incl: ToothFairy, Kaza, Ant, Ned, Koala Bear, Bank Teller, Yamaha/Linda, Adam 'n Eve, Heineken, Tornado, Kate aka Flaxen, Pacific Pete, Whippet.

 

With Gene and Ann taking the short-cut back to Nth Turra' from Berowra Waters Rd, our ranks were a tad thinner at our 2nd Nosh Stop of Pie in the Sky approaching midday after 69km from Nth Turra'.  However, after Heineken 'threw a shoe' at the ferry, dutiful wife Sarah came to the rescue with new screws 'n bolts for Arno at Pie in the Sky.
