Not just any sunrise

A few weeks back a core group of TDC riders recommenced the usual training regime.
5am at Maiseys........ north to Mona Vale Hospital and back for breakfast in Manly. Tough I know!

On this morning there was a secondary group leaving at 6.30am Something about it's too early to go at that time................Too Cold to get out there then..............My Pillow just won't let me go.............

Needless to say, on this morning when many emails had gone around the group, bantering over the pro's and con's of taking the extra hour sleep in, seeing as we are not officially training for a TDC ride we experienced what I believe was the SUNRISE of the YEAR.

For those of you who don't have an alarm go off at 4.35am, Lycra read to pull on, lights charged, tyres pumped and water bottle filled (to our partners who put up with the noise we make getting all this ready....we thank you!) then you would have missed and most likely do miss the incredible sunrises at this time of year.

Here are some pics..................This is why we get up so damn early (beside the great coffee, good company and rush of endorphins)
