The weather looks okay at the time of writing, but I will make a weather call on Sunday Morning at 6:45am and we will revert to beach if it looks not too good in the hills.  Please check WhatsApp.

The Giro starts on next Friday in Budapest and it looks like being a cracker. They dont go anwhere near my families home village this year.

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac hwy

All

Sundays Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac highway. This will be a good one to burn off the hot cross buns and chocolate. The spring classics have been fun to watch so there is lots to discuss.

Meet in the City at 7:30am

Route: Anzac Hwy, Glenelg, Outer Harbour, Return to Glenelg for Coffee

For those wondering why its not hills this week (there is probably a whole one of you). Its due to there being 5 Sundays in May with two short weeks for Easter and Anzac day in April to kick it off. We also flip into the winter schedule in June. Trust me it works better this way. We are back in the Hills next week.

Sunday Ride is the No Excuses Club Ride

 Sunday Ride is the No Excuses Club Ride

So as Sunday is a No Excuses Club Ride.  The weather has been perfect fo cycling or just about anything other than being in an office lately.  Sunday is  a Sunny 29 degrees and Light-ish winds so no excuses about the weather this week.

Meeting Time is 7:30 am in the City

The usual route Port Road, Outer Harbor, Glenelg. Its good weather so No Excuses.

I found out recently that at the ANU where Jacob resides he doesn’t have access to an outdoor tap and hose to clean his MTB. His first solution was to take his bike into one of the common shower cubicles with him!

 He recently told his dad that he has found an alternative solution. He now rides it into one of the water feature fountains on campus. Naturally his bikes live in his room rather than the secure bike shed. I Love the ingenuity. I reckon if he did that at Flinders Uni where I went the bike would disolve.
