Scribe's rap-up of last Sunday, 10 Oct, Tour de Bumble Hill, Yarramalong 'n Wyong Iron Horse home - 91km

Front of screen above at Mt White last Sunday - Printer, Heineken 'n BeanCounter (Why are they all smiling?  Cause BeanCounter said, "Come on lads, a big peachy grin for the CamaraMan"). 
Backstage - Navigator, Koala Bear, ToothFairy, Pacific Pete 'n Bazza (trying to push over the table)

A lean team at sunny Wyong train station, after heap plenty starters had opted to chuck a Uie at Mt. White.

1. Why does Pacific (far left) look so mellow?  Cause we pigged-out at one of Pacific's favourite Nosh Stops, "Yarramalong Manor" -  where the Spring sunshine was divine, the conversation cordial, the tucker refined and the table service "befitting all things fine 'n gentry."

2. Why was Koala Bear so jolly?  Cause the big lump of of a lad had kicked butt on the bike, and still had more left in the can.

3. Why were Bank Teller 'n ToothFairy seemingly so at peace with the world?  Cause they managed to stay in sight of the bunch.

4. Why was Heineken (in the mustard green centre stage) appear so cheery?  Cause Arno could've blown 'em all away any time.
