Scribe's rap of Tour de Windsor - lots km - 14 cyclists when we add in 2 more crew, David aka TreeHugger and Steve P. who missed Scribe and PapaBear on the M2 and ended up only 100m away at Woodies, and Grant aka BeanCounter who skipped our Nosh Stop and rode straight back, 'cause chores were a beckoning.

Something "all of a sudden" captured everyone's attention.  But unsure what it was.

Rollout time


Mark, Leigh and Gail about 5km Sth of Round Corner Dural when the day was starting to warm up.

Footnote:  Jean aka DishPig cycled 177km having started from Balmain and cycled back there after visiting Windsor, incl some of the Hawkesbury Valley boondocks.  Scribe only rode 104km via M2/M7 returning via Pitt Town Rd and Galston Gorge, but that was enough as it had warmed up.
