Length of Putty Rd, across to Wollemi, down through Laguna and Spencer and back to Penrith

Too many to mention - it was like there was a ST convention.

 :13Candy  Heading westbound on Robinson Rd Aspley just before 9am today.  I thought it was Biggles but he denies any involvement.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I reckon that’s the same friendly dude that I spotted the same morning. Biggles said he had an alibi.

I’ve seen this bike a few times, always on Robinson rd or Albany creek rd heading westbound in the morning.  Maybe we should start a separate thread to identify the mystery rider.

Now I've looked at this thread, it looks like I'm guilty.  If you got a wave then it was me.  I wave at everything.  Even stuff that doesn't move sometimes like when my fading eyesight makes a mailbox inexplicably move...

It's not the moving part we have to worry about, who doesn't love a dancing letterbox, it's when they jump out in front of you that's the problem. Lol

I tried to zoom in and get a photos of it at he passed since I already had my camera in my hand.  Unfortunately an oncoming cap popped in the shot as I pushed the shutter.  Interesting face mask in the passenger seat.



The gopro on my bike got it in full, albeit small.

Red one opposite Victoria Squa re with distinctive reflective tape on it.  I'm sure I've seen it at an RTE.

Picture the scene. Slightly dank motel room, with imaginative stains in the most unexpected places, decor of crossover late 70's early 80's style, if there is such a thing, interspersed with fading and peeling Formica, my tent draped on the furniture with all my other clothes. My not-very-waterproof jacket is dripping in the shower cubicle and there's a red screen on the telly saying "Beware heavy rain and flash flooding". Now that is the way to deliver a warning and mean it. When all of a sudden the roof fell in and there was the rain again, right there, in my room! You couldn't make it up. Well Ruth Rendell could perhaps, but it's not anything I'd have thought of.
It took just a moment of stunned disbelief before the uncontrollable laughter set in and it hadn't fully subsided when I did a Hugh Grant in the reception.
