Scribe's wrap-up of
Anticlockwise loop of Greater Sydney - Turramurra, Windsor Richmond,
Springwood, Penrith train to Seven Hills, M2, Turramurra - 126km - 11 cyclists
but 6 turned around at Windsor
![](../../Rides_Stuff/22_Sunday_rides/maps/Turramurra/Windsor,Richmond,Spring,Penrith.gif)
![](2103/untitled4.jpg)
A noteworthy return to Muggs is
Bill aka Glasgow
who recently returned from a visit to the Old Dart in late
Winter, where he didn't cycle
![](2103/untitled3.jpg)
![](2103/untitled2.jpg)
![](2103/untitled.jpg)
Sorry for the small pics below.
Scribe recently had his phone repaired and it came back with real
small pic size settings, which he has now finally rectified.
![](2103/Pic_0321_006.jpg)
Above three pics snapped at Cnr Vimiera Rd
and Epping Rd, where
Jean aka
ChiliDog and
Ann aka ToothFairy
joined the throng. Ann cycled to Windsor but didn't know about a
shortened streamline route by continuing along the M7 for 11km and
exiting at Quakers hill parkway, so Ann took the laborious route
along Abbotts Rd, Johnson Ave, Vardys Rd which added another 9k to her
route. Well done ToothFairy.
