Sunday Ride – Hallett Cove - Weather Call

 Sunday Ride – Hallett Cove - Weather Call

Tuesday was the winter solstice so from this Sunday the riding days get longer.

The weather forecast for Sunday does not look the best. However, the BOM predicted a lot of rain for today and it didn’t do much. So  Sunday morning I will make a weather call via WhatsApp.

Route: Hallett Cove via Anzac Hwy and Glenelg, Coffee at Glenelg

Weather Call: 7:10 am 

Meet in the City: 8:00 am

I realise the beach route for this ride is due to chaos that was spaghetti junction at Darlington. We will have to do a recce team to have a look to see if Seacombe Rd is a sane choice again. 

Le Tour starts next week. Maybe a Slovakian will win. Current odds.

• TADEJ POGAČAR – 4/5
• PRIMOŽ ROGLIČ – 17/4
• GERAINT THOMAS – 28/1
• DANIEL MARTÍNEZ – 20/1
• JONAS VINGEGAARD – 9/2
• ALEKSANDR VLASOV – 66/1

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac hwy

Sundays Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac highway. 

It looks like a good weather forecast at the moment with cloud and reasonably light winds.

Meet in the City at 8:00 am

Weather Call on Whatsapp at 7:15 am

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

I am now getting ready to schedule the next Ride Guide as the last time I just whacked in an extention for this Winter as COVID was still in the picture. So if you can start thinking about what you might like to see in 2022/23 ride fixtures and let me know any rides you want included. 

I won't issue the guide until I can see what the TDU and the Janurary season has in store. With the way dates are falling scheduling rides through to winter 2023 looks like a real pain this time around. So I have drafted in a 2018 Henschke Shriaz and Bowmore 12 year old Single Malt to assist me getting it done on a rainy day.

Sunday Ride - No Excuses Club Ride

Sunday Ride - No Excuses Club Ride

Sunday’s ride is the No Excuses Club ride. The weather looks okay via the BOM but still begs the question of what “20% chance of 0mm of rain” actually means. The winds look friendly, so I am taking it as "bring a jacket".

Meet: City at 8:00am

Weather Call: 7:15 am via Whats App

Route: City, Port Rd, Victoria Tce, Outer Harbor, Esplanade, Military Rd, Glenelg 

Coffee: at Glenelg

We can discuss the BG Super Mega Epic to Clare once the bike track is done. I am on the lookout for a set of gravel wheels to sling under the Willier and a wine bottle cage.

Sunday Ride - Winter Schedule -Weather Call

Sunday Ride - Winter Schedule - Weather Call

This Sunday we swap over to the Winter Schedule, and it looks like this year the weather got the memo. The weather forecast for Sunday looks a tad unfriendly for anything other than indoor activities. However, as it’s the BOM we are talking about I will apply the mark one eyeball to look out a window on Sunday morning and make a weather call.

The Winter schedule will alternate beach rides with close hills thrown in if the weather co-operates.

Route: Outer Harbor via Port Rd, Coffee at Glenelg

Weather Call: 7:10 am 

Meet in the City: 8:00 am

No-excuses club ride is delayed until there is no obvious excuse.

To those with kids sport this weekend good luck.
