  • Most cyclists are commencing from Hornsby

  • Ride Organiser:  Phil Johnston - 9498.3684 hm

  • Hardcopy these directions, take a squiz of the route NW and bring on Sunday as this is a complex route

  • Cycle two abreast at own risk.  Keep well to LHS and get off the road at Sag Stops

  • Cycling without Public Liability cover is as stupid as driving without 3rd Party - join Bicycle NSW for PL insurance cover, so that all Muggs are better protected

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