We rarely see Luigi & Giuseppe
on Muggs' Sunday rides. Our two Mediterranean phantom
cycling cousins jointly own a Western suburbs paint shop; Sunday is their largest trading day.
Luigi & Giuseppe crave to paint
insignia on
Sydney's toughest climbs the same way
famous climbs
in the
Tour de France are
immortalised
in colourful paint eg Alp d' Huez, Col d'Izoard and Col du Lautaret. Our two Old World cycling
aficionados
seemingly have a good rapport with local
nocturnal
Elves on
Sydney's Northside, because, from time to time, the little Goblins
manage to tidy-up Muggaccinos colourful road signs.
Above and below are two versions of Muggs' sign in Rohini St,
Turramurra station carpark after the local Pixies have
used Luigi & Giuseppe 'paint'
to touch-up our Sicilian brothers' road signs.
Left hand pic is a panorama of the famous 21
switch-backs (cross-overs)
to the summit of Alpe d'Huez with
Yellow outline
- 13.8 km in length average gradient 7.9%.
Luigi remonstrates that there are
hundreds of larger signs painted on the 22 sections of the most
famous ascent. |
