Sunday Ride – Short Beach – Hallett Cove 15/06

 

 Sunday Ride – Short Beach – Hallett Cove 

The weather for Sunday looks dry-ish with light winds if cold. We haven’t done Hallett Cove in a long time so will do the short ride down to Hallett Cove and extend if we feel like it. It’s Hugh’s least favourite ride but as he is in the UK we should only hear muffled whining. Despite the forecast I don’t trust the BOM so will plan a weather call.    

Weather Call: 7:00 am 

Meet in the City at 8:00am

Route: City, ANZAC Hwy, Esplanade, Wheatland St, Kuri Parade, Brandon Tce, The Cove and Return

Coffee at Glenelg probably on the Broadway

Return via Anzac Hwy or Henley Beach Road if we want to extend.

A bit of cycling going on, but I haven’t been keeping up. So hopefully you can bring me up to date.

Sunday Ride 08/06 - The Depths aka the original BG Ride

Sunday Ride 08/06 - The Depths aka the original BG Ride

I have consulted the BOM and the long-range hour by hour forecast and the weather for Sunday looks as the French would say Merde.

Given the BOM’s track records on predicting rain lately we will set the original BG Ride and use the mark 1 eyeball to make a weather call.

 Weather Call: 7:00 am

 Meet: 8:00 am in the City

 Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, U-Turn at Bower Rd and return

 Coffee at Skala Bakery or Semaphore

 Return via Henley Beach Rd

 

Sorry for the short post. I am off to the Crows game.

Sunday day Ride – The Ranges aka Pain Lives Here 01/06

Sunday Ride – The Ranges aka Pain Lives Here 01/06

Meet: 8:00 am at the Tower

Route:  Tower, Nortons, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd

Coffee at Uraidla

Return negotiated at coffee

Sunday is the first day of Winter and despite last weekends severe weather finally arriving about 1am Monday we have great riding so lets make the most of it. See you Sunday.

I am still only up to Stage 8 of the Giro. So everyone can bring me up to speed.

BG Sunday Ride – Short Beach Ride - Meet in the City 25/05

Hi BG’s it looks like our run of perfect cycling weather has come to an end. The current forecast for Sunday morning is only slightly moist but with strong winds. I will book a weather call for Sunday Morning. Given the weather we will also move to the Winter Program a week early. Please note the later Start Time of 8am

Weather Call 7:00 am

Meet in the City: 8:00 am

Route:  By default, the short beach for a NW wind. Port Rd, Bower Rd, Military Rd, Glenelg

Coffee: Glenelg on the Broadway

Return: Anzac Hwy

I am sorry I haven’t been keeping up with the Giro.

Remember 8 am start

 Sundays Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy

Time: 7:30 am

Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, Seaview Rd, Military Rd, Esplanade, Outer Harbor, Return the same way.

The Giro has been interesting so far with lots of Albanian dogs and goats getting involved on what I have to say were some spectacular roads.

One day it will be your last bike ride but it will not be this Sunday. See you then

Sundays Ride is Cudlee Creek 11/05

 

Sundays Ride is Cudlee Creek 11/05

It’s the start of the Giro de Italia this weekend so as BG tradition dictates it’s a hills ride and its Cudlee Creek to enjoy some really good cake. Cudlee Creek has a return option to suit everyone. 

The weather looks like low 20’s and calm winds on current forecast.

Meet: 7:30am at the Tower Hotel 

Route:  City, Parade, Tower Hotel, Glen Stuart Rd, Morilata Rd, Stadbroke rd, Gorge Rd, Cudlee Creek

Coffee and Cake: Cuddle Creek

Easy Return: Out and back

Hard Return: Fox Creek

The Giro is straight into the Hills and Mountains but as per usual the big stuff is in the last week. As its the Giro there are lots of medium mountains before we get there. Should make good watching as Podacar is looking merely super human. As always I will try to teach everyone an Italian phrase that you had better never use in public.
