Sunday 18 December – Forestville / Manly Dam (anyone see a pattern here??)

Struth, we did it again. The excuse for this week was the holiday season meant that folks needed to be home early. We did have the advantage of Tom Burton’s company for the first time, which was a Good Thing (riding a borrowed bike that he first got on at 6.32am, with bear trap pedals; Tom proved that basic skills can get you a long way).

In any case, not much to report (and no photos). At least Doug got the log of the track (including a new view, together with the satellite and contour map!).

Lots to be investigated on this ride for future reference (including the drop into Bantry Bay, and the numerous drops into – rather than *around* - the valleys…).
