Sunday Ride - Outer Harbour via Port Road

SUNDAY RIDE - Beach via Port Road 

Hello BG lovelies...

With Aldo away in Perf satisfying he and Helen's 'interesting' penchant for wrestling, yours truly has taken over the communication channels for the week. Don't worry, I won't spend the whole time extolling the virtues of Titanium and Wahoo Elmnts.

The weather on Sunday is looking pretty good, with light winds and a predicted maximum temperature of 31 degrees. Sunrise will be at 6.59am. We'll be in the waning gibbous moon phase, with sun protection recommended from 9.40am until 5.20pm. In the words of Max Verstappen after winning yet another Grand Prix whilst managing not to fall asleep, it's looking 'very lovely'...

Anyway, the simple message is to be there.

Meet in the city at 7.30am for a ride to Glenelg via Port Road. Coffee at KOM, followed by a negotiated return. Maybe via Outer Harbour for those looking for their February Grand Fondo badge on Strava or maybe via ANZAC Highway for those still rediscovering their form (or on a promise).

Anyhoo, be there, it'll be grouse.

I have scheduled coffee for Glenelg, but KOM Coffee is an option depending on the consensus. Graham if you’re going to be there for a coffee Sunday let us know and we will definitely do Glenelg.

Sunday Ride – Hahndorf

 *Sunday Ride – Hahndorf*  

I love the smell of strudel in the morning, it smells like cinnamon. This Sundays ride is Hahndorf.  River Road is now officially the heavy vehicle bypass. So, we will be riding the Strada Bianchi of Kangaroo Reef road.   Extra points will be awarded for sparkly knicks.

The earlier meeting time didn’t really work so we will revert to standard.

Meet: 7:30am is the city or 8:30 am at the Mt Lofty Bollards, that’s the top of the hill

Route: Old Mt Barker Rd, Mt Barker Rd, Aldgate Valley Rd, Mylor, Strathalbyn Rd, briefly on River Rd, Right on Kangaroo Reef rd, Hard right to stay on Kangaroo Reef Rd at Snelling Rd, Echunga Rd, Hahndorf 

Coffee at Hahndorf, caffe to be selected but Otto’s by default

Return Route decided at Coffee!

I have seen lots of very fit cyclists on the bike track I am guessing they are here for the track championships.
