Bank Teller's rap-up of Tour de Woy Woy - 13 cyclists - 86km

13 made it to Mt White on a steamy morn' where after a 30 min chit chat amidst the familiar, verdant Road Warrior's "backyard", 6 (Bruce, Miner, Pimpernel, Grant aka BeanCounter, Carolyn aka Princess and Nerida (on her first Muggs' ride) turned around and headed back to Hornsby.

7 of us rolled onto Woy Woy under constant drizzle

We were beset by a constant drizzle after heading Nth from Mt. White. Consequently, we jettisoned the hilly, scenic Pearl Beach leg due to the propensity of an accident on the windy, lumpy section into/out of Pearl Beach. But we did complete a pleasant 86km route.
