Scribe's wrap-up of Anticlockwise loop of Greater Sydney - Turramurra, Windsor Richmond, Springwood, Penrith train to Seven Hills, M2, Turramurra - 126km - 6 cyclists when we include Matt aka Printer who started at Hornsby and cycled to Windsor, but no one told him we'd cycled onto Richmond for our 1st Nosh Stop
Gearing back up after putting on the Nose Bag at scenic Richmond Oval
Stretching the legs at the Yarramundi Lookout. It is only a 2.58km climb from the Shaws Creek bridge to the Lookout, but Golly Gosh the initial 800m are steep-est-est-est. Notwithstanding both Jean and John climbed in a 39/27, where as Scribe, using a triple chain-ring, dropped back to 28T on the front and his biggest chain-ring of 28T on the rear, meaning he was cycling 1:1. Not unsurprisingly Scribe thought Yarramundi Hill was Easy Peasy, but he cycled Slowly Slowly
Re-fueling at Springwood
Jean at Penrith station where he bade us farewell after commencing at his Rozelle 'digs' at 6am and turned right at Artarmon onto the Epping Rd to meet us at Vimiera Rd
