Scribe's rap of Tour de SloshFest from St Ives to Palm Beach 'n back - 6 cyclists - 84km

The grub at Whale Beach Cafe was grouse with Scribe settling into Eggs Benedict and others similarly over-indulging

Colin aka Bike Friday waving for the pic

Eric providing room for the table clean-up.  Little did we realize that the skies were going to open like never before en route home, where most of us took shelter at Newport after getting drenched going thru Avalon and Bilgola which rec'd 63mm in an hour with us in it.  Even St Ives copped some of it as evidenced by John aka BakerBoy back at St Ives carpark post-ride
