Big chase after an NSCC puncture on Mona Vale Road cost ~ 30 secs. Led myself for a while as the NSCC group reformed. At Terry Hills tavern could see the BF 4 around 700m ahead, but at the roundabout all NSCC except 1 turned left. Led the chase towards the NP entrance and then my NSCC mate turned right down McCarrs. At this stage I was about 200m back, so had to chase solo and made the catch 1.5km later. But then a dropped chain embarrassment on small hill before Akuna. Akuna East 11:51, Mc Carrs better at 8:43. Nick got the Snives climb.
