Dear bicyclists,
I took my tourer out for a work in, having decided to ride Hornsby to
Gosford. At first light my silly mind kept thinking "Gosford,
Gosford, Gosford," and so I bought a ticket to Gosford. Realising my
error I got off at Woy Woy and did a metric century to my parents home
in Newcastle.
Hilights: Headwinds. Going north: headwinds; going east: headwinds;
going west: headwinds. Hill after rolling hill. Wyee Road was,
interesting. I also noticed (being a Novocastrian), that Central
Coast drivers were MUCH MUCH more polite than Lake Macquarie /
Newcastle drivers.
Riding the shoulder / outside line is much safer on "country" roads; a
complete 180 reversal of "take the lane always" innercity riding.
Why do you get gusting cross winds on an uphill narrow bridge? And
why is this when two packs of cars decide to cross each other?
Fun fun fun. I regret bonking at about 75km though, but got through
it in the end.
thanks for the inspiration which got me there,
Sam R.
