Bank Teller's
rap-up of Sunday 24 July, Tour de Warriewood - 95km - 17 crew
Heineken, Adam 'n Eve, Kirstee 'n Engineer, Tornado, Kaza,
Schooners, Whippet, Printer, Bank Teller, Samurai, Princess Caroline, Navigator,
BeanCounter
rolled-out on que at 8:30am on an o'cast morn which slowly
improved.
After 40.5km, but not before a 12km out 'n back
to/from Duffy's Forest, we arrived at West Head where we met
Pacific Pete
and Koala Bear.
Unsure why, but our
Nosh Stop o'looking the
Blue Pacific dragged on a tad. Perhaps it was the glimpses of faint
sunshine after a few weeks of average Winter's weather.
Twas then 26 clicks back down
West Head RD, a Left McCarrs Creek Rd, thence a Right due South past the Mona
Vale Cemetery on RHS winding Easterly to Warriewood.
After everyone was "all fulled-up"
on burgers, bacon 'n egg rolls etc from the Sunrise Cafe, we
remounted to hug the coast Sth for a few clicks, before heading West 9.9km up
Wakehurst Parkway and thence Nth for 4.9km along Forest Way, before chucking a
Left cycling due West for 6.6km back to St Ives. After weeks of
crummy weather, we were all glad to get-in a decent hit-out.
