to caffinate at Glenelg or ride back to Norwood.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Willunga Stage<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It
looks like most people are driving tomorrow so if we can message each other on
whatsapp to arrange meetups. I have been mother-in-lawed so will be down later
in the day. Given it’s 35 degrees plus this may be wise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Sunday
ride TDU viewing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here
is the plan for Sunday. Our base is at Uraidla. The bowls club will not be
doing a BBQ this year but we figure Uraidla pub/bakery will have something for
lunch. The bowls club may still have beer. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Last
year worked well so we will do the same with appropriate variations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Timings
are for Gentlemen and sore legs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Find
a spot to watch the Peloton on the Windy Point Climb. Big hairpin at the restaurant
by default.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

expected at 1:30pm and 2:10pm at Uraidla<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This
itinerary should provide 30-45 minutes slack to deal with traffic and exploding
legs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Carry
some snacks with you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

So we have set a ride to make sure you have lots of credit in the calorie bank. So, before we all go into a month of eating and drinking far too much here is the pre-emptive calorie burn ride. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Weather looks perfect for a change. 27 degrees, light winds</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Like every Christmas we set the Full Monty for this ride and then sanity prevails. We will do the Norton’s, Lenswood, Cudlee Creek loop.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">NO CITY MEET. Early start so we won’t be rushing as beer doesn’t start until 11:30am</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Meet at the Tower Hotel at 7:30 am for a leisurely departure</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Route: Norton’s, Ashton, Basket Range, Forest Range, Lenswood, Fox Creek (downhill)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Cudlee Creek ETA 9:45 am. A quick coffee at Cudlee Creek. We should depart Cudlee Creek no later than 10:30am</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Back: Then back down the Gorge, Stradbroke Rd, Glen Stuart Rd and back to the Tower. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The Monty: If anyone is feeling frisky and wants to go up the Corkscrew and complete the Full Monty go for it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Lunch: I have booked a large table under Aldo for 12pm although the lady taking the booking confessed to being dyslexic so it may be under Also. We are aiming to reach the Tower for Christmas Lunch by 11:30 am so we can have a beer first. Kitchen opens at 12pm </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If you are not riding, we would still like to see you all for a Christmas catch up.</span></p><div><br /></div>AMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092147851473336091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577705456157246507.post-60643800325505819612023-11-24T20:30:00.000+10:302023-11-24T20:30:42.401+10:30Sunday Ride – Southern Hills Loop 26/11<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> Sunday Ride – Southern Hills Loop</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This Sundays Ride is the Southern Hills Loop with a notable
change. We are taking the other exit from the park and avoiding Saddlehill
rd. There is still some climbing but it isn’t as much of a leg breaker.
The rain should have passed by them and we are looking at a cloudy 21 degrees.
Note the change in meeting point to avoid the city and the race. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Meet: Unley Soldiers Memorial Gardens / Unley Shopping
Center<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">It’s the Christmas Show next Sunday (where did the year go)
so we will finalise plans for that at coffee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Scheduling
is a bit fraught this month with the Adelaide Rally and the Velo so we have
scheduled a Cudlee Creek out and back so no tough climbs to worry about. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Meet:

<p><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This
month’s schedule has around events while trying to end up with a good ride for
the Christmas show. I have also had a chance to work on the ride guide. For

had really good numbers last week for the beach ride and as we want to keep
that up we will make this week a No Excuses Hills Ride. To limit the vertical
metres for those lacking fitness we will do the Turf and Surf ride. The weather
looks like a cracker. 25 degrees and 20kph winds. This ride has the possibility
of dual coffee shop ride depending on how people feel so a sausage roll for
breakfast at Uraidla is an optional extra. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

degrees. This weekend is the Bay to Birdwood so while the old car procession is
up chain of ponds experience has taught to stay away from that side of the hills.

I have changed my mind for a couple of reasons. It is the No Excuse ride week, it’s a long weekend and mainly because I haven’t done a ride plan beyond next week. The weather looks good Partly Cloudy and 21 degress. So, I expect to see everyone out. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Meet: In the City, Hindmarsh square </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Time: 7:30 am</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Route: Outer Harbor via Port Rd. Esplanade, Military, Seaview Rd</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Coffee: At Glenelg</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Looks like we are in for warmer weather with Sunday bucking the trend. So I have looked up the BG hot weather policy and found two things. One was that the policy was last used in February 2019 by Michael and that in 2017 we were getting numbers in the 20’s. Sorry for the scheduling confusion I need to find an evening to sit with down with the almanac and a good bottle of red and draft a 18 month ride guide.</span></p><div><br /></div>AMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092147851473336091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577705456157246507.post-65171527010208459162023-09-22T14:12:00.005+09:302023-09-22T14:12:32.758+09:30 Sunday Ride 24/09 is Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The weather report for Sunday looks great, 28 degrees with a Northly wind.
