Scribe's rap of Tour de Central Coast to Lisarow - 89km - 3 cyclists

Three Muggs' stalwarts, Trevor aka Tornado, Harry aka KayakMan and Bank Teller seized a break in the weather to join today's ride.  We were not disappointed, and managed to ride to Lisarow (10km Nth of Gosford), up the 950m precipitous Paroo Rd 5km shy of Lisarow Subway, without a drop of rain.  Hard to believe, but true. Although disappointingly it was raining when we arrived back at Hornsby by train.
