Ø Ride Organiser: Phil Johnston 9114.6689 0412 045 224

Ø Hardcopy these directions and bring on Sunday

Ø Click on: Risk Warnings which warns of the dangers of cycling on public roads with motor cars, potholes and over bridges with vertical timber planks with gaps

Ø Cycling with Muggs is predicated upon notifying Bank Teller if you materially disagree with any clause(s) in Muggaccinos' "Ride Participants Liability Acknowledgment"

Ø When boarding and alighting the Berowra Ferry, take particular care not to cycle over the metal rails on the cement ramps which can be very slippery

Ø Don't ride two abreast on single lane roads with an unbroken centre line

Ø Cycling without Public Liability cover is as silly as driving without 3rd Party property cover. Join Bicycle NSW or Bike Vic for P.L. insurance, or upgrade your household policy to include P.L. beyond your front fence, so that all Muggs are better protected, 'cause if you cause a serious accident it could cost you upwards of $1m in P.L. claims by the injured 3rd party

Ø Cyclists from the primary/longer departure point of Nth Turramurra do not pass the shorter journey Hornsby departure spot - usually meet them ascending Galston Rd or when passing Andy's Cafe Nth Galston on route to Berowra Ferry.
