Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy plus TDU Stages Released

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

Route: Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy

Coffee: Glenelg

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
