[edit] Expedition
[edit] 1PE
I was thwarted by the golf course's fence and gate, and poor posture on the bike. and, the frost on the windscreen when I attempted to leave in plenty of time, so I wasted around 5-10 minutes warming the car/windscreen to clear the frost and so arrived at about 12:10am.
The country club is not open at night, oddly! The suburban cul-de-sacs do not give access to the course.
After driving to a street adjacent to the hash (Tange Place), I attempted a ride-around at what I thought would be an access point near a bike-path overpass near the hash, but proved to have a fence, too. As I turned there, I lost balance and hit the tarmac pathway and scored cuts to both hands, left elbow, and left knee.
Undeterred, I got the 'proof', beside the fence, then rode back to the car.
On the way back, I got some pics at the locked gate of the country club.
