Rap-up of Xmas Eve Freemans Reach, Windsor Lowlands - 86km - 5 toasted peddlers

5 crew, Adam 'n Eve, Printer, Jean aka Kitchen Slave and Scribe rolled out of Turra' carpark at 6:45am after agreeing to cycle all the way to Windsor rather than catching a train from Seven Hills as there were no rookies amongst us.

Don't know if that was a good idea, 'cause we encountered a very warm Westerly all the way.  Upon our arrival, Scribe and Kitchen Slave, who also goes under the moniker of DishPig for the same reason, headed for the Bridge Cafe cause of the service.  The local Hawkesbury racing club soon also patronised the Bridge Cafe seemingly for the same reason.

Matt, Adam and Ann-Marie drifted 200m further down Macquarie St to Woddies 'cause the chaps like the sugar laden crepes, hence the reason for the big plates in below pic.
