Sunday Ride – Beach – Outer Harbor via Port Road

 Sunday Ride – Beach – Outer Harbor via Port Road

We had a great ride last week with 9 riders tacking the Montacute loop shedding riders a fairly much every escape route. By consensus it was a good route so I will now substitute that ride for the Ranges ride on occasion this year. We also met with almost the same number of familiar faces at Uraidla coffee.  It was great to catch up.

Today’s weather is a stinker but fortunately Sunday will be a mild 25 with normal winds so we can avoid all the complexity associated with the BG hot weather policy. Sunday is a flat beach ride.

Meet: 7:30am in the City (Hindmarsh Square)

Route: City, Port Rd, Victoria Tce, Outer Harbour, Esplanade, Military Rd 

Coffee at Glenelg

Return ANZAC hwy

Stay cool and stay hydrated. I suspect I will have a twinged back on Sunday so business class for me.

 Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Anzac hwy – the long (beach) route 

A long beach ride for this Sunday with good weather, 25 degrees and moderate winds, forecast. So, while not what we would normally expect mid-February it will be a great day for a ride.

Meet: 7:30am in the City 

Route: City, Anzac hwy, Military Road, Esplanade, Outer Harbor, return

Coffee: At Glenelg 

Home: via Anzac Hwy

In general news this week. We are proceeding with the new kit design with special thanks to Steve and it’s looking good. We will keep everyone posted as we proceed.

As of Wednesday, despite all efforts to kill the conversation, route selection/walking on the TDU challenge ride is still a live issue. I will be carrying a red-card on Sunday. Not saying, just saying.
