Sundays Ride - No Excuses

Sundays Ride is the no excuses Club ride. Numbers have been very disappointing lately even when the weather has been good so please make an effort to make it out. 

The Weather for Sunday look excellent for cycling or just generally getting out

16℃ Mostly sunny. Light winds becoming northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day


So the Weather isn't an excuse. Also bring a mate we are always welcoming.   

See you Sunday.

Sunday Ride - Hallett Cove

Well as one of the back markers I can testify both to the effects of a crosswind and the feeling of trying to close a gap that never seems to to close.  So I really feel for the riders on Stage 10. A little wind certainly shook up the TdF.

Anyway to Sunday's Ride, Hallett Cove via Anzac Highway 

Meet in the City at 8:00am

Last week Geoff, Mike and I turned up after a Whatsapp discussion  triggered by no rian on the radar. Unfortunately it was stealth rain and we called the ride off at Greenhill rd and went for coffee.

Tour Down Under
The Stages for this years TDU have been released.

It looks like a excellent year for riding out from the city for viewing with only the Saturday stage looking a bit impractical to view by bike once it gets past Meadows. Stage 3 doubles back on itself and completes one of the Cudlee Creek loops in the opposite direction which took a bit of squinting and then looking at the point to point to figure out. However will be a great one to ride out and watch.

For those like me who use the Challenge tour as a bit of a fitness target. Its now back to the Friday stage and is fairly hard day in the saddle at 164km to Murray Bridge via Mannum with a shade under 1900m of climbing. KOM is at Prospect Hill.


Cliche!
