Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Port Rd – No Excuses Club ride
As the first
Sunday of the Month was snagged for hills ride, as the weather was good, we
will do the club ride this Sunday. The weather for Sunday is a bit indeterminate,
so I think Hills are unwise. So, No Excuses, I expect to see everyone out.

Call: 6:30am

Time: 7:30

Outer Harbor via Port Rd. Esplanade, Military, Seaview Rd

Sunday Ride 05/10 – Montecute Training Loop – the reprise
This Sunday’s
weather was looking really good for the hills in the morning, and the weather
will not come in until 7:30pm according to the forecasts. Still, it looks like
it will be a warm morning with moderate winds. Perfect for the hills.
Weather Partly
Cloudy, so no sunburn, 29 degrees with moderate winds. Given we haven’t been
able to get out due to rain and it’s the long weekend we will reprise the ride
we didn’t do last week and stick to the hills face with multiple escape routes
for those lacking fitness or needing to get home.
Remember the
clocks go forward on Sunday morning and you loose and hours sleep.

The
early-bird price for the Epic TDU ride expired last week. Have a think if you
want to participate this year. This week the BG Breakfast club will earn its
bacon and egg sanga.
Sunday Ride 28/09 – Montecute Training Loop
This Sunday’s
weather was looking really good for the hills…….right up until the one they
issued this afternoon. Still, it looks like it will have passed by ride-time on
Sunday so we will do the hills or if it looks wet and dodgy up there, we will
do a Surf & Turf starting at the Tower.
Weather Partly
Cloudy, so no sunburn, 18 degrees with light winds. Given we are coming out of Winter,
and a few riders lack fitness that means short Hills. We will stick to the
hills face with multiple escape routes for those lacking fitness or carrying
winter kilos.

The early-bird
price for the Epic TDU ride expires on Tuesday. Have a think if you want to participate
this year. It’s a bit of an awkward finish line in Nairne. Close enough to ride
home, far enough that the Prancing Pony and a pickup looks really good.
Sunday Ride – 21/09 Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy return via Port Rd (Reverse the Excuses)

My
apology for an early and short post this week. If I waited until tomorrow I likely
wouldn’t be posting.
Last Sunday was stealth rain, nothing on the Radar, nothing in the gauges but soaked to the skin. This Sunday also looks wets. As it’s the first Sunday of the month lets try for the club ride again. The weather looks only slightly dodgy but it’s getting warmer as spring is here.
It is also
time to shift out start times to 7:30 am
Weather is possible
rain, moderate winds and 22 degrees. If it isn’t wet let’s bring the No Excuses
ride forward. So, No Excuses, I expect to see everyone out.

So No
Excuses we will see you out on Sunday.
This Sunday is the last Sunday of the Month and also the end of Winter. Its early for a club ride however as the weather looks decidedly dodgy as I sit and write with a nice Shiraz while watching the hail. I think hills are probably unwise. Given the BOM said we should have has 100mm and we have managed 10mm it could be anything Sunday
Weather is Light
Winds and 14 degrees. If it isn’t wet let’s bring the No Excuses ride forward. So,
No Excuses, I expect to see everyone out.

We have been doing beach for a while but as Sunday looks, dare I say it, nice so it’s back to the Hills for this Sunday with Pain Lives Here. Weather is 21 degee’s sunny with moderate winds.
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
Next
week is the end of winter but we will probably wait another week before we
revert to 7:30am starts. I haven’t been tracking the Vuelta so have no idea what
is happening.
Sunday Ride – Short Beach – Semaphore via Largs
Sunday looks dodgy on the forecast. We will plan to do the short ride down to Semaphore via the Largs Pier and home if we can snag a window in the weather. We can call the route in the morning depending on the situation.
Weather Call: 7:00 am
Meet in the City at 8:00am
Route: City, Port Rd, Victoria Rd, Jetty Rd, Largs Pier, Esplanade to Semaphore.
Coffee at Semaphore
Return decided at Coffee
I have finally had a look at the TDU stages so if we get a ride in we can discuss what we like to do as a club. The Epic ride on Friday look like a bit of a leg-breaker this year.
The weather report for Sunday looks okay at the moment, 19 degrees with a north easterly wind. I will book a weather call for Sunday just in case.
Weather Call 7:00am
Meet: In the city
Time: 8:00 am
Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, Seaview Rd, Military Rd,
Esplanade, Outer Harbor, Return the same way.
Coffee at Semaphore
Return: Port Rd
