Sunday Ride - Reverse Cudlee Loop

Sundays Ride - Reverse Cudlee Loop

Sunday’s weather is Sunny, Light Winds and 24 degree's so perfect for a day out in the hills. From last sundays discussion there isn’t much appetite for a 100km Epic but there is an appetite for Rhubarb and Raspberry crumble. So, we will head back to Cudlee Creek this weekend but in the reverse direction.

Meet: City (Hindmarsh Square) at 7:30am or the Tower Hotel are 8:00am

Route: Norton Summit, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range, Lenswood. Fox Creek, Cuddle Creak

Alternate: If we are feeling energetic at Lenswood, we can decide to do Lobethal

Coffee: Coffee is at Cudlee Creek

Return: Home via Gorge Rd, Stradbroke Rd etc

73km return 1100m of Climbing

At least with Brian's knees playing up he won’t be doing his usual and suggesting we turn left at the bottom of Kangaroo creek.

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

We return to the flats on Sunday and it looks like another cracjing day weather wise 20 degrees and light winds. We had a really great turn out last Sunday so lets keep it up this week. 

Meet: 7:30am in the City

Route: Anzac Highway, Glenelg, Outer Harbor, Return to Glenelg

Coffee at Glenelg

Return: Back to the City or tack on a extention to get fitter

Next week is the 5th Sunday of the month and is a bit nebulous route wise.  Not sure how many people want an Epic and I dont want to scare people off so a route discussion at Coffee would be appreciated.

Sunday Ride - Cudlee Creek

Sunday Ride - Cudlee Creek

Last Sunday was anything goes. We headed out to Bradbury were the vets had a race on. Warren and I were briefly convinced we had our racing legs back as we chased the Vets D Grade up the hill into Bradbury. All up a cracking day in the Hills. Thanks to Tobias for the route sugestion.

This week we head to the Hills again but a much more gentle amount of climbing as a we head up to Cudlee Creek and the best cake in town.  The out-back route is 75km and only 800m of Climbing so perfect if you havent been in the hills for a while.

Meet: 7:30am in the City or 8:00am at the Tower Hotel carpark

Route: City, Parade, Tower Hotel, Glen Stuart Rd, Morialta Rd, Stadbroke Rd, Gorge Rd to Cudlee Creek

Coffee: Cudlee Creek Cafe 

Normal Return: Back Down Gorge Rd  

Hard Return: Fox Creek, Swamp Rd, German Town Hill, Freeway 

Virgo/Smith/Homburg Harden Up Special: Fox Creek, Lobethal Rd, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd, Lofty (Ah the good ol'e days)

Sundays Ride is "Anything Can Happen"

Sundays Ride is Anything Can Happen

Meet in the City at 7:30 during which a Civil discussion will take place about the route and coffee.

Meeting Time: 7:30 am

Route: City to Whereever and return Sometime 

Coffee: Somewhere 

TDU Cancellation

The TDU has been cancelled again next year and as a result there isnt an event / occasion to target. Lets discuss Coast to Coast, Revolve 24 ect at coffee.

Sunday Ride - BG Club Ride - Outer Harbor

 Sunday Ride - BG Club Ride 

Due to the long weekend Sunday was scheduled as "Anything Can Happen" which usually results in a long meandering route through the hills usually out to north or south to take advantage of the break. However the weather forecast for Sunday is  dodgy. Hence we will revert this one back to the BG Club ride to Outer Harbor.

Meet in the City at 7:30am

Route: Outer Harbor via Port Rd 

As always when the weather report is like this we will make a weather call on WhatsApp at 6:45am Sunday.
