SUNDAY IS LONG BEACH - HALLETT COVE WITH OUTER HARBOUR RETURN

This Sunday we are going to go the long beach.

We'll head from the City to Hallett Cove, then to Glenelg for coffee and then continuing north to Outer Harbour.

It'll be a good chance to get your Strava GF for March on the first day of the month, and then gloat at your high position in the rankings for a few hours until Europe and America wake up...

Route is here:

At coffee, people can ask all about this photo of Gui last Sunday:

See you all Sunday.

SUNDAY IS HAHNDORF WITH A RETURN TO BE DETERMINED

Doesn't it suck balls when you forget to post, or save, your blog post.

I said many witty things, but they are all gone.

They involved Hugh and Gui and sprinting.

But anyway, Sunday, Hahndorf, return to be determined over coffee and cake.

Meet in the City at 7.30am.

Or meet at the Bollards at 8.30am.

Nominal route is here:

See you Sunday, the weather looks grouse, and it gives you an excuse to avoid the boganwagans.

SUNDAY IS OUTER HARBOUR VIA ANZAC HIGHWAY

Happy Wednesday one and all...

This Sunday is Outer Harbour via Anzac Highway.

After a smashing effort in the hills, where a great turnout added in excess of 1500vm to their tallies, the Cudlee Cafe set a new record for how long it can take to get an (albeit very good) coffee, and Aldo, still on 1 1/2 legs, smashed corkscrew and then told the rest of us we were going up, not down, Montecture, we are back to the flatlands.

Route is here:

Meet in the City at 7.30am.

Coffee at Glenelg.

See you all Sunday.

SUNDAY IS THE REVERSE CUDLEE CREEK CORKSCREW MONTACUTE RETURN

Righto team.

It's that time of the summer where the form is pretty good and the climbing legs are there (or thereabouts). We were scheduled for a Meadows Loop this Sunday, but we did that a couple of weeks ago, so instead, we are going to do a loop that we debuted just before Christmas, the reverse Cudlee Corker Monty.

Now before I hear any complaints, I was thinking we could turn this into a psychopathic PLH pretzel, where after completing Monty, we do the ranges again for a regular PLH. Really, it's not that hard is it???

I mapped it on Strava to see that it wasn't so bad, and here it is:


Oh gorgeousness and gorgeousity, these she is in her 112km and 2416 metres of beauty.

Anyway, let's leave that for a fifth Sunday of the month, and let's do this bad boy instead:


Meet in the City at 7.30am.

Meet at the Tower at 8.00am.

Estimated arrival at Cudlee Creek at 10.00am and departure at 10.30am.

Back in Norwood at 12.00pm.

There are multiple bailout options, but they shan't be required.

See you Sunday.

Did I mention March has five Sundays???
