Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy - Social Pace


Sundays ride is a Beach ride Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway.

We have taken the feedback that the last Beach Ride was a tad quick. The aim of the BG is for everyone to come out and enjoy their cycling regardless of form. So we discussed how to make the rides approachable and encourage people to come out.

So this Ride is a BG Social Pace ride which will work like this.  Brian has volunteered to act as commissionaire an enforce the speed limit. This is really a codification of what we try to do anyway with a speed limit and regroup points.

Sunday's Ride is the Reverse Meadows Loop - Civvies Week

With the weather looking cracking, Sunday's Ride is the reverse Meadows loop, brought forward by two weeks.

The route from the city will be Belair, Blackwood, Clarendon to Meadows, returning via Echunga and Mylor.

The ride will be at a modest pace with no drops.

Meet in the city at 7.30am.

For something different, it's also unilaterally declared civves week. Make sure you come in any form of lycra OTHER than the BG kit. A crap prize, such as me buying your coffee, will be on offer for the person voted worst dressed.

Example follows:


See you Sunday.
