Sorry
for the brief post,
Sunday Ride – Hahndorf
It’s a partly cloudy 25 degrees on Sunday so perfect weather for Strudel. This week’s ride is Hahndorf via River Rd
The earlier meeting time didn’t really work so we will revert to standard.
Meet: 7:30am is the city or 8:30 am at the Mt Lofty Bollards, that’s the top of the hill
Route: Old Mt Barker Rd, Mt Barker Rd, Aldgate Valley Rd, Mylor, River Rd Hahndorf
Coffee at Hahndorf, caffe to be selected but Otto’s by default
Return Route decided at Coffee!
I am at Handorf for an Engagement party on Saturday so a multiple Strudel weekend for me.
It’s forecast for 38 degrees on Sunday. So, we will do a ranges ride and see what the weather is like at the top of Nortons. If its too hot we will bail and come back via Montecute.
Meet:
7:30 am at the Tower
Route:
Tower, Nortons, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd
Coffee
at Uraidla
Bailout:
Down Montecute and coffee at Norwood.
Good
Luck on the Great Ocean ride Michael
See
you Sunday.
I have consulted the BOM and forecast for Sunday 37 degrees moderate
winds. So after a cracking week of TDU
with great weather we need to combine a recovery ride and a hot weather ride. So
I have gone back to the original BG Ride.
Meet: 7.30 am in the City, if it gets hotter we may reschedule
Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, U-Turn at Bower Rd and return
Coffee at Glenelg
Return via Henly Beach Rd
See
you Sunday.
Sunday Ride – The Ranges
TDU week is here so we will head to the Hills to give legs a final polish for the Adelaide Epic Ride. Weather is Sunny 35 with moderate winds so freeze your bottles.
Meet: 7:30 am at the Tower
Route: Tower, Nortons, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd
Coffee at Uraidla
We wont dawdle as I expect a sausage roll shortage and I don’t want to hear the whining if we have to settle for lentil pies.
Epic Ride Preliminary Arrangements
There doesn’t appear to be a huge amount of detail about the start. The FAQ’s say riders start from 6:00am and the strava map shows the start zone is on George St not the Parade proper. If that’s the case we will do what we have done previous years.
Forecast: 27 and moderate winds
Time: 5:30 am
Meet: Gather at the National Pharmacy
Regroup Points – Tentative
It’s a long ride so I suspect we will be breaking up. However here are some suggested regroup points.
• Ashton as it will chaos at Nortons
• Mt Lofty
• Echunga 45 km – I assume a rest stop is here
• Mt Barker 75km
• Lenswood 100km
• Uraidla

As
Sunday’s forecast is for 40 degrees on Sunday the BG hot weather policy is
activated.
Sundays
Forecast is 40 degrees, moderate winds and it will be warm overnight. Hence the
ride is short and designed to get us home by 10am before the heat. We will
decide on the road if it’s better to ice coffee at Henley / Glenelg or ride
back to town and ice coffee or sparkling red (not that there is anything wrong
with that) at Norwood

Route:
The Original. Anzac Hwy, Bower Rd, Henley Beach Road Return

To be decided by consensus.
