Sunday Ride 16/03 – Short Beach

 

Sunday Ride 16/03 – Short Beach

I have consulted the BOM and the long-range hour by hour forecast and Sunday looks dodgy. However, we were meant to get 45mm and the 65mm in Mudgee and didn’t get a drop. Leura on the other hand started out foggy and then was just wet. So, you can’t trust the BOM.

 We have set a short beach ride and l will update tomorrow based on the forecast. If it’s raining or the winds are too high we will call it. It’s meant to be Hills and if the weather gods smile we will decide in the morning.

Weather Call: 6:30 am

Meet: 7:30 am in the City

Flat Route Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, Semaphore

Coffee at Semaphore

Return via Port Rd

Racing has started again in Europe. It was the Strada Bianca and the Peaks ride last weekend. A bit to discuss.

Sunday Ride 26/01 – Hot Weather Recovery ride -The original BG Ride

 

Sunday Ride 26/01 – Hot Weather Recovery ride -The original BG Ride

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 17/01 – The Ranges

 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
