Ø   No trackwork on Western Train Line to/from Windsor

Ø   Hardcopy these directions and bring on Sunday

Ø   Expend 5 min studying your street directory for the 36km clockwise 2nd Leg loop from Windsor, Freeman's Reach, Richmond Lowlands, Cornwallis, returning to Windsor which is beaut

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 - join Bicycle NSW or Bike Vic for PL insurance, or upgrade your household policy to include PL 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 PL claims by the injured party, which could be a fellow cyclist

Ø   When passing a fellow Mugg, always provide a metre clearance.  If you can't, or are passing on the inside, you MUST call out loudly eg. "passing inside" etc

Bank Teller's rap-up of Hornsby to Mt White last holiday Monday which attracted 2 crew on another rainy day

Bank Teller and Richard aka Sloth braved a damp morn' and got rained on.  There was a surprisingly large number of cyclists at PitS where we pulled in en route to Road Warriors Cafe Mt. White cause the rain got heavy.  Bank Teller handed out some marketing cards, so hopefully we will see some more new faces.
