Wolombi Ride 4th July 2024

 With a lot of rain the previous few days - the sun rose to mixed conditions.

The rain stopped momentarily on my ride to the meeting point at Berowra - but the the road was still very wet

 

As we gathered at the 7-11, then we watched 1,2 then 3 & 4 Candy cars pass us.

 

With one setting up about 200 meters down the road from us.

 

So the ride was going to be at the speed limit or slower with the wet conditions and usual debri, potholes, road works and Highway patrol cars to negotiate past.

 

The route to Wollombi is quite complicated - I counted a total of 2 corners to negotiate with a stop at Jerry's for morning tea.

 

There were 11 of us, all old faces that had done the route many times so we dispensed with corner marking.

 

Apart from the wet conditions - the most notable occurrence was seeing 3 Highway patrol cars at Cowan, we think discussing their lack of pay rise.

 

Jerry's was closed - but the ablutions block was open

 

After morning tea - on to Wollombi

 

After lunch we split up with 4 of us having a leisurely ride back to the Pie in the Sky or Sydney

 

Nothing else to report - no mishaps to report - boring!

 

Boring is good.
