Scribe’s rap-up of
"Return to Deliverance Country - Spencer revisited" with train back from
Wyong - 128.7km - 6 cyclists
Arno had to turn back at Calga, 'cause chores
were a beckoning. Pimpernel
"chucked a Uie" at Peats Ride. John aka
Auckland,
ToothFairy, Pacific n'
Bank Teller carried onto
Spencer. We didn't get a drop of rain all day and basked in pleasant
sunshine over lunch at
The Hub of the
Universe. ToothFairy and Pacific, who had commenced
from Mt White, returned there for 100km ride. John and Phil hooked a left
into Bloodtree Rd after our Nosh Stop at the Friendly Store
Mangrove Mountain for the shortcut to Yarramalong, and following a feed at the
General Store carried onto Wyong for 128.7km where Scribe ave a
creditable (for him) 22.6km.
