Scribe's rap-up of Sunday, 9 Sept, Tour de
Warriewood - 92km
On a warmish bright morn' after 35 clicks, 25 crew took an extended breather to shot the breeze at
West Head after sorties to the Fruit Barn, past the home of
Skippy, Duffy's Forest, on to the "U" turn at cow corner. Thence
returning to the Thai Restaurant for a fleeting Sag Stop,
whereupon, full steam ahead to the Headland.
Two classic one-liners came out of today's
coastal ride.
1. Whilst assembling in St Ives car-park, Scribe
announced that Sputnik had recently completed the arduous 1,200km
'Paris Brest Paris' Audax Supremo ultra endurance event in the requisite
<36 hrs. Sergey commented that particularly during the second 600km,
Sputnik often pondered that he wasn't aware that there were so many
parts of the body that could possibly all hurt at the same time.
2. Twds the end of today's ride, Scribe
had further problem with a bothersome chain. Earlier Greenie
and Heineken had ably repaired Scribe's chain, buy removing a
link. At the crest of Wakehurst Parkway, Scribe suffered a
repetition with a link squeezing out the post pin. Heineken
enquired of Greenie, "Is it the same link as before?"
Greenie, rightly retorted, "How would I possibly know. There are
about 39 links in that chain, and they all look the same." |

When was the last time you saw a Muggs' pic where
the turkey gobblers were looking at the feed bowl? The below two
pics are not inconsistent with the above two.
Publican 'n Samurai wouldn't
know what a real BrownEye was. As evidenced by Koala Bear's complete
apathy to his compatriots' anal protest, as he still continued to order tucker. Flash and
Smiling Assassin, who evidenced Bank Teller's 'Brown-Eye' from the
Berowra Waters punt many moons ago, when Scribe did the Full Monte
from aboard the ferry
- no pun intended. If you want to see a real 'moon', check out the final
pic in
