Hardcopy
these directions, take a squiz of the route NW and bring on Sunday as this is a complex route
Keep well to LHS and DO
NOT cycle
two abreast on single lane roads with an unbroken centre
line
-
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;
or check your household policy which might provide $m PL cover beyond your
front fence
-
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

ToothFairy's fleeting rap-up
of St Ives to Palm Beach ferry to Central Coast ride - 9 starters
On a glorious Winter's day 9 aboarded the 10:30am ferry from
Palm Beach after a 37km ride from St Ives. Greg, Ann, Peter T, Adam and
Ann-Marie alighted at Wagstaffe for a glorious cycle up the Scenic Route before
conquering the precipitous 900m up Paroo Hill before arriving at Lisarow where
we caught the train.
Arno, Paul, Mark and Richard got off at Ettalong Wharf and
cycled back via Kariong, Mooney Mooney bridge, Calga, Mt White.
