Bank Teller's rap-up of Sunday, 20 Oct, Brekkie at Berowra Waters 'n Brunch at PitS - 85km

15 crew rolled Nth adjacent to the Nth Shore line at 7:30am in pursuit of Quatre Montagnes on an absolutely brill Spring morn'.  'Twasn't long before Navigator, Keith, Richard, Alain Prost, Starbucks, Clint aka Kiwi Lad, Princess, Kiwi Mike 'n Whippet had established a Cracker Jack pace down/up Galston Gorge.  Teller wasn't impressed when three femmes [Fran, Kiwi and Rocket] cruised past him early in the climb from The Gorge.  But still, someone had to be rear-gun.

Princess, Matt, Kiwi Lass, Kiwi Mike (with a wide gate), Kiwi Lad, Navigator soakin' up the sun at Berowra Waters after 28km, with more crew in the b'gnd.

Rocket, Credit Agricole, Fran, Kiwi Lad, 'n Starbucks 'et al' on the LHS of the ferry.

A cast of thousands on the RHS of the same ferry incl Princess, Keith, Julie, 'n Kitchen Sink.  Dead set, the cyclists out-numbered the motorists on the 9:58am ferry from Berrilee to Berowra.

Lots more squawkin' [above and below] at PitS after 65km, incl the familiar climb from Brooklyn Rd.
