Sunday Ride – Beach Ride – Outer Harbor via Port Rd – Post TDU Club Ride

 Sunday Ride – Beach Ride – Outer Harbor via Port Rd – Post TDU Club Ride

For some strange reason that I can’t quite put my finger on I find myself craving a nice flat beach ride.  It’s a week early for the Club ride but that’s the way the energy bar crumbles. Forecast is 26 degrees and mild winds. 

Meet: 7:30 am in the City 

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

Coffee at Glenelg.

Home options to be discussed at coffee.

BG Admin Notes for this week.

We declare that "discussions" of who did long / short / walk / eyeballed the podium are now over but we can give still Brian grief over the undeclared left turn at the toll gate. See you Sunday

Sunday Ride - TDU recon

 Sunday Ride - TDU recon

TDU Week is upon us. So heaps of riding next week. We were meant to do a reconnaissance ride for the TDU finale viewing last year but it was crap weather. So this Sunday we will be doing a single lap of the finishing stage trying to scope out a location or location for best viewing on Sunday week. The primary issue that needs to be the focus of our attention is the location of the Esky. The weather looks good 28 degrees.

Meet: 7:30 am is the City, 8:30 am at the Bollards 

Route: Bollards to Lofty, Summertown, Uraidla, Rangeview, Carey Gully rd, Mt Barker Rd at Bridgewater, Aldgate,  Pomona Rd, Gould Rd, Old Mt Barker Rd, Piccadilly Rd, Crafers, Mt Lofty 

Coffee: Once the lap is done we will ride through to Uraidla for Coffee and a pork sausage roll.

Home: I suggest we either complete the lap or home via Montecute or whatever route makes sense.

 Happy New Year BG’s

The first ride of the New Year is a No Excuses club ride. The weather looks great for the first outing of 2023 but it will be hot.

Route: Outer Harbor via Port Rd 

Coffee in Glenelg

TDU Training Route: Glenelg, Cross Rd, Tollgate, Lofty, Home

  1. TDU week 
  2. Brian telling us how much help 300w is throwing 22kg of Carbon, Steel and Lithium up Norton Summit
  3. Broken Hill
