TDU Weekend

 

Saturday Willunga Stage

It looks like most people are driving tomorrow so if we can message each other on whatsapp to arrange meetups. I have been mother-in-lawed so will be down later in the day. Given it’s 35 degrees plus this may be wise.

Sunday ride TDU viewing.

Here is the plan for Sunday. Our base is at Uraidla. The bowls club will not be doing a BBQ this year but we figure Uraidla pub/bakery will have something for lunch. The bowls club may still have beer.

Last year worked well so we will do the same with appropriate variations.

Timings are for Gentlemen and sore legs.

Meet: 7:30 am in the City

1. Glenelg via Henley Beach rd for coffee. Arrive by 8:15 am

2. Glenelg to Belair via Cross Rd. Arrive 9:45 am

3. Belair to Windy Point. Arrive 10:30 am

Alternate is meet us at the BP Station at top of hill at 10:30am

Find a spot to watch the Peloton on the Windy Point Climb. Big hairpin at the restaurant by default.

4. View TDU first time over Windy Point Estimated at 11:20am

5. Ride through to Uraidla for Lunch and Beer via National Park (not Saddlehill)

Peloton expected at 1:30pm and 2:10pm at Uraidla

This itinerary should provide 30-45 minutes slack to deal with traffic and exploding legs.

Carry some snacks with you.

See you Sunday.
