Blushing
Brenda, alias the Welsh Widget, from
east of the Old Dart. A pocket size dynamo who –
¨
fires on the flats;
¨ hammers
in the hills; and
¨
and still finds the stamina to smile during the stops.
Widget,
one of the original Sunday morn' crew who has completed several 200km Audax
Alpine Classics and 150km Fitz’s Challenges, often'd
chronicled a post-ride rap-up for The Bullsheet,
including a trademark poem - not an easy chore on a Sunday night after pushing
pedals all Sunday and going gaspers at the Nosh Stops, when
she isn't dispatching scones 'n jam to the
breadbasket.
Back in '97 Widget 'came a cropper' at Amen
Corner - the first dogleg left in the decent from North Turra' to Bobbin Head - same corner
that PacificPete took a bad spill in '99 necessitating a plate 'n 2 pins in
his hip. Post-ride back at Turra' carpark, two fellow crew Silvia
and Siggy didn't seem too troubled at Brenda's Bruise.
Brenda at Mt White - looking for an easy way home
One of the summits on a Berry ride
Ann aka ToothFairy and Brenda aka Welsh Widget circa early March 2024. They selected 'a backyard haunt' to have their photo snapped locally, wherever locally was? With A.I. impact these days, they might have been sitting in the back of Brenda's jalopy.
