Eily Pilgrimage Mileages

Using a new cycling app I can estimate my total mileage taken on this pilgrimage. 
 Home to Merewether       78
To Wyee                              70
To Tuggerah                       56
To Our-Woy Woy                80
To Central (via Coogee)    80
TOTAL                        364km
All on a second hand folding bike bought for $100.  There were no mechanical failures, adverse weather events  nor accidents.  
In fact it was epic fun and elevated me from a Self-doubting Wannabe to a Successful Pilgrim with a 360km  route under his belt.  
The final off from Hamilton Station, bound for the delights of Pittwater & Sydney Harbour. It doesn't get any better.

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
