Rap-up of Tour de St. Ives, Duffy's Forest, West Head, Church Point, 'n back" - 76km - 8 starters
6 of the team at Church Point. Alas, we lost Harry aka KayakMan when he carried-on to Warriewood after the rest of us "hooked-a-left" into West Head.
The team, incl Scott aka PatternMaker front/right seemingly appearin' tranquil, with Tornado pensively admiring the views.
Tornado is in deep, solemn cogitation over his "caffé". PacificPete is distracted. Bill aka Compliance, MediaMan and BeanCounter are viewing the yachts.
Table service for the lads. PacificPete is adopting a low profile, whilst Bill aka Compliance renders himself "useful".
