This little gem was pointed out to me while we were discussing the challenge tour.
Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Port Rd
The weather for Sunday morning looks okay via the BOM, with the rain forecast for the evening and a window of nice weather in the morning. The forecast 17 degrees with moderate winds. So rug up and "bring a jacket" but we should be good.
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

As for the weather it could be worse, we could have tickets to "Splendor in the Mud".
The weather forecast for Sunday looks wet. So it will be the normal procedure for Sunday morning. I will make a weather call via WhatsApp. If we have a weather window the ride is:

Minutes from the first TDU week subcommittee meeting in 3 years.
1. The BG Ride for Sunday 22nd is TDU viewing on the Mt Lofty stage. Location and refreshments TBA
2. We will assume that Friday’s stage is the Challenge ride and organise a recon ride for November
3. There are lots of other spectator days so we may organise groups to head out
This is Graham’s ride for the Sunday https://www.mjmotor.com.au/go-kart/218-80cc-motorised-cooler-scooter-4-wheel-motorbike-atv-quad-icebox-esky-lifan.html
Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy plus TDU Stages Released
This Sundays Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy. The weather for this Sunday is frosty cold with light winds. Hopefully numbers should pick up as people start to come out of Covid lockdown. We had a Michael R visitation last week as he stalked us from the comfort of his heated car seat. Hope to see him out on the bike soon.
Meet: 8:00 am in the City
Weather call: 7:15am

Tour Down Under Routes Released
The routes for Stuart O'Grady's first TDU have been released. https://tourdownunder.com.au/
From a BG point of view, I make the following observations
1) Looks like a cracking week with excellent routes for viewing on or off the bike. Especially the final Sunday which is a loop around Mt Lofty. It really lends itself to a BG ride around and watch day.
2) A Prologue TT on road bikes around the Torrens to kick off
3) We also have a good opportunity for a pilgrimage to Willunga but no Willunga Hill climb which threw me
4) If Friday Unley to Campbelltown is the Challenge Tour day it’s going to hurt. I score it Nasty++ or a 9.2 on the Brian Virgo Scale. It has Pain Lives Here (Ranges) to start then Checkers Hill at 83 km and then Corkscrew at 111km
Sunday Ride - No Excuses Club Ride
Okay marshmallows take a hard Bastardi Pill and HTFU, Sunday’s ride is the No Excuses Club ride. The weather looks okay via the BOM, a cold day 13 degrees but with light winds. So rug up and "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
The first stages of the Tour will have been run but they wont be in France yet. So a bit to chat about.
