Bank Teller's rap-up of
Sunday, 14 May, Cinque Montagnes clockwise - 95km - 6 crew
Samurai,
Printer,
Scribe,
Tourist, climbed the
familiar five hills on an o'castish late Autumn morn' which never warmed up.
Pete 'n Ang
resplendent in their cycling clobber joined us for lunch at PitS where the
sunshine was faint. They only rode from Hornsby to PitS 'n back, hardly
worth bothering to climb into cycle gear, although Pete reputedly climbed to
PitS.
