Risk
Warning
Ø Hardcopy these directions and bring on Sunday.
Ø Expend
5 min studying your street
directory for this route, if you haven't ridden it before.
Ø
Don't ride two
abreast on single lane roads with an unbroken centre line and descend corners on
wet roads as though you are skating on ice
Ø
When passing a
fellow Mugg, always provide a metre clearance. If you can't, or are
passing on the inside, you MUST call out loudly eg. "passing inside" etc
Some
forms of cycling are dangerous.
An ave of 36 Australian
cyclists have been killed annually since 2000.
95% of these fatalities occur on the road.
Other cyclists in Australia break bones and incur nerve
impairment from falling off their bikes in accidents.
A cyclist could fall from his/her bike, inter alia,
due to -
(i) being hit by a car or another cyclist; or
(ii) encountering a pothole;
(iii) cycling too fast on a wet downhill where the
coefficient of friction is much less, particularly at corners; or
(iv) getting their bicycle wheel caught in a gap in a timber bridge.
A negligent cyclist could -
(a) be litigated by a seriously injured cyclist, or 3rd party (ie. a
woman pushing a pram on a footpath or a car driver) under common law
where the damages could exceed $500,000; and
(b) lose his/her home if he/she did not have public liability
insurance which covers their negligence whilst on a push bike.
A negligent cyclist who did not have personal injury
insurance (ie self-employed without income protection cover) could
struggle to meet regular outgo commitments.
A seriously injured cyclist could be awarded damages
which a negligent cyclist could not afford to pay if the negligent
cyclist -
(I) did not have public liability insurance cover; and/or
(II) did not possess valuable assets.
Ø
Cycling
without Public Liability cover is as silly as driving without 3rd Party -
join Bicycle NSW for PL insurance, so that all Muggs are better protected
Ø
Click on:
Risk Management
which warns of 'inter alia', the dangers of cycling on
public roads with motor cars,
potholes and over bridges with vertical timber
planks with gaps
Ø
Cycling with
Muggs is predicated upon notifying
Bank Teller if you
materially disagree with any clause(s) in Muggaccinos'
"Ride Participants Liability Acknowledgment"

Back at
Andy's Cafe after 82km, but 23km to go,
via Berowra Waters, in lieu of the customary 'short cot' up The Gorge
Golly look at these old pics of Muggs'
above listed "Nth Turra' to Mt White 'n back ride" back in April '08 -
jpgs have got bigger/sharper
Scribe's pics from Duffy's Forest, Akuna Bay, Church Point, Warriewood,
Wakehurst Parkway, Forest Way - 86km - 10 crew

Grant aka

pumped to be leading the charge up that
nasty incline returning from Duffy's Forest
![](../0803/2008_03_30/DuffysForest610.JPG)
Adam seemingly more relaxed, but may be hiding
his effort

to the T junction with West Head Rd

With
Martin aka Architect
not far a drift.

Rex aka Pimpernel
filled the minor placing picking up bronze

Alas, Bank Teller missed a few of the crew in
snapping this pic at Church Point on a bonza, pristine morn,
but "centre-stage" Martin
aka Al Capone probably ain't fazed about some heads getting
chopped out. What a noggin!!!
