Tour Down Under Challenge Ride

A early start at Glenelg start and a Saturday ride this year for those doing the Challenge Ride. We will meet in easy reach of the faster group departure areas. 

The meeting point will be under the trees near the Glenelg Rotunda from around 5:30 am 

The departure is at 6:00 am we may actually touch the pedals by 6:15 am 

The weather looks quite cool so we will only schedule two stops. Provisionally the designated Refreshment stops for the BG are as follows:  
  • Sellicks Hill 48 km (to be decided on the road if anyone needs water)
  • Yankalilla 71 km
  • Goolwa 124 km
Regroup points if required 

  • 100 metres past the top of O'Halloran Hill
  • Just past the Sellicks Hill KOM
  • Top of the climb into Victor Harbor 

As we are  "The Bastardi", here is the traditional TDU Italian Phrase that may be helpful on this year's ride. 

  • A sausage with onion please - Una salsiccia con cipolla per favore
  • A sausage with no onion please - Una salsiccia senza cipolla per favore
  • Beer is the best recovery drink - La birra รจ la migliore bevanda di recupero
  • Where can I find a beer and a sausage - Dove posso trovare una birra e una salsiccia
