Sunday Ride – Montecute Training Loop

 

Sunday Ride – Montecute Training Loop

This Sundays weather looks really good. Partly Cloudy, so no sunburn, 17 degrees, so cool so you don’t sweat too much, and light winds so no pushing into a breeze. This means two things. Firstly, no weather call phew! Second, according to the ruling at the meeting of the ride setting subcommittee three weeks ago we will be reporting for Spring Training. That means short Hills. We will stick to the hills face with multiple escape routes for those lacking fitness or carrying winter kilos.

Meet: 8:00 am in the City or 8:30 at the Tower Hotel

Route: Magill Rd, Glen Stuart Rd, Morilata Rd, Stradbroke Rd, Montecute Rd

First Regroup / Escape Route: Top of CorkScrew

Route: Montecute Rd, Marble Hill Rd, Ashton

Second Regroup / Escape Route: Ashton

Route: Ashton, Basket Range, Basket Range Rd, Uralidla

Excruciating slow Coffee and a fast Sausage Roll: Uraidla

Return: Via Nortons, Via Lofty

On the cycling front a work colleague left on Thursday riding Mt Gambier to Geelong as part of gradually, over many years, riding Australia furthest point East-West and only a few 100km short of furthest North-South on the mainland. They are almost done after this one.

Weather Call 7:00am

Meet: In the city 

Time: 8:00 am

Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, Seaview Rd, Military Rd, Esplanade, Outer Harbor, Return the same way. 

Coffee at Glenelg

Last week allowed for some organizational discussions for Spring, TDU and Summer. We will plan to do two rides TDU weekend. On Saturday we will pilgrimage down to Willunga hill with the current plan being via the Bike track and Seaford train station. We will stay flexible in case a better transit option appears. On Sunday will repeat what we did this year and ride up to Uraidla as that worked well.

Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Port Rd – No Excuses Club ride - Sunday 6th

Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Port Rd – No Excuses Club ride

As this Sunday is the first Sunday of the Month and the weather looks good 15 degrees, Partly Cloudy and Light Winds it’s the No Excuses ride. So, I expect to see everyone out. 

The weather looks so nice in fact I am not scheduling a weather call. 

Meet: In the City, Hindmarsh square 

Time: 8:00 am

Route: Outer Harbor via Port Rd. Esplanade, Military, Seaview Rd

Coffee: At Glenelg

Funny this was the same weather forecast as the last No Excuses ride which made typing easy.  Any day I can avoid a weather call is a good day.
