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.
