Scribe's rap-up of Tour de Windsor - 6 starters

 

 

 

 

Grant aka BeanCounter, Koala Bear, Scribe and Smurf on Sean's tandem, Adam 'n Eve represented a lean team who arrived at Macquarie Square Windsor after 48.5km.  Gene 'n Grant cycled back, with four of us pedaling 3km further West to aboard the 11:29am train to Seven Hills, whereupon we took the M2 home.  After having skipped the scheduled Wilberforce, Ebenezer/Sackville loop Phil and Sean were full of beans and let the tandem rip on the flattish M2.   Phil took some pics, but he left his camera in the seat bag on Sean's tandem, which was a silly thing to do.
