Sunday Ride – Weather Call
Hi BG’s. I just can’t win. I hate weather calls, but it looks like this Sunday is another one. Saturday’s forecast is poor to put it mildly but if I read the forecast for Sunday correctly there is a window on Sunday morning.
So, for the umpteenth time this year I will not set a ride for Sunday, but we will make it a weather call. We do need to go uphill at some stage so if the weather allows Sunday, we will do the rarely sighted short hills loop.
Weather Call: 6:45am
Meet: In the City at 7:30am
Flat Route: City, Port Rd, Bower Rd, Seaview, return Anzac or
Hills Route: City, Lofty, Ashton, Montacute Rd, return to The Parade (The Alley-opp)
Coffee: Norwood for both options so that we are close to home.
For those doing the TDU they have published the road closure durations/sag wagon. It’s not hard at all but you will need to keep a wiggle on as they have posted times significantly quicker for the last rider. Roads will reopen either once last rider is through or the following time elapses.
6:00am start, 2:00 hours to Ashton, 3:00 to Lobethal, 4:00 to Birdwood, 5:15 to Williamstown, 6:45 to Checker Hill, 7:15 to Corkscrew, 8:15 to top of Corkscrew, 8:30 to finish.
