Mike, do you mean Duffy's Forest, or French's Forest?

Duffy's Forest seems to be a long way from where you are.

As far as refill locations go, there are probably several Service Stations along the route, just try and find one along Pittwater Rd at Narrabeen before turning on to the Wakehurst Pkwy, and there is a 7-11 just past Awaba Street in Mosman on Spit Rd.

Ha, your right I've ridden thru it a number of times and been calling it by the wrong name. I'll replace "Duffy's" with "Wakehurst parkway" in the initial post.

Sounds good, I am in if I can wake up in time.

(Hopefully I won't be too slow, haven't ridden my road bike for over a month!)

Once RAW is over I will be keen for Saturday riding again.

It's too hard to get out of bed on a Saturday morning at the moment, let alone ride!

[weiyun]

I'll meet you guys at Observatory Hill, by the bridge. Weather is looking good right now.

[mikesbytes]

Why are you doing slowies anyway?

[park]

Thank you for organising the ride Mike!

[mikesbytes]

Great to have you on the ride.

The hill after the Narrabeen lakes turnaround is an interesting one, its not very steep but its quite long, so the trick is to find pace early and then hold the rhythm, which we all did really well.

Indeed an interesting ride. Maybe that's why there's more riders going in the other direction. The breakdown lane also seemed a bit wider on the other side.
