Sunday Ride – Short Beach – Hallett Cove

 Sunday Ride – Short Beach – Hallett Cove 

The weather for Sunday looks dry if a bit breezy. We will do the short ride down to Hallett Cove. It’s Hugh’s least favourite ride but it does offer the opportunity to check out Brians new abode.   

Weather Call: 7:00 am 

Meet in the City at 8:00am

Route: City, ANZAC Hwy, Esplanade, Wheatland St, Kuri Parade, Brandon Tce, The Cove and Return

Coffee at Glenelg 

Return via Anzac Hwy

Normally at this time of year we can see the Tour Down Under program and know what the Challenge Tour is. This year its silence and lots of empty "event" slots. The Friday stage starts in Murray Bridge so probably is not the Challenge stage. I suspect no Challenge Tour this year. That said both Saturday (Willunga) and Sunday (Mt Lofty) look like good days for BG Pilgrimages. Lets discuss Sunday.

Sundays Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy

 Sundays Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy

The weather report for Sunday looks okay at the moment, 15 degrees with a southerly wind. I will book a weather call for Sunday in case it doesn’t clear up.

Looks like a great chance to get a ride in so I hope to see you Sunday. It looks like Vingegaard has it all sown up for this year.

The weather on Sunday will be a fine, 15 degrees, light winds and foggy. So we will try to do last weeks ride. Bring a fog light and a snack as coffee will be late on this one. It’s been 5-6 years since we did this ride.

I have been flat out so tour watching for me will be on catch-up. Make sure you have your privacy circles set on Strava and we will see you on Sunday

The weather on Sunday will either be fine and dry, or complete custard. I really can’t tell from the three separate weather apps I have been consulting since last year when my weather calls became an issue. So, with a nervous twitch already developing it’s a weather call for this Sunday.  Either way the wind will WNW so a return down Port Rd will be welcome. Bring a snack as coffee will be late on this one. It’s been 5-6 years since we did this ride. If the wind is a factor, we will reroute in the morning.

The tour has been great to watch so far. I saw my prediction of Jai making it to Paris in yellow evaporate in an epic performance by Pogacar but at least he was there for a day.  Anyway, hopefully the weather holds, and we will see you all Sunday.
