This Sundays Ride is the Montecute Rd Loop. The loop has a pre-coffee bailout options at Corkscrew and Ashton and a post coffee bail out. The weather looks good 32 degrees with slight possibility of a shower so I will book a weather call but I don’t think it will be needed.

Sunday Ride 10/03/24 – Hot Weather Policy

 Sunday Ride 10/03/24 – Hot Weather Policy

The BG’s have a hot weather policy. Yes, we do. It just hasn’t been needed for 4 years.

Sundays Forecast is 38 degrees, and it will be hot overnight. Hence the ride is short and designed to get us home by 10am. We will decide on the road if its better to caffinate at Glenelg or ride back to Norwood.

Meet: 7:00am in the City – Please Note the Early Start

Route: The Original. Anzac Hwy, Glenelg, Bower Rd, Return

Coffee will either Glenelg or Norwood. To be decided by consensus.

Make sure you freeze your bottles.

A reminder that it’s Womadelaide this weekend so those of us coming from the North East will have to dodge hungover wommians who have woken up under a bush cuddling a fruit bat.
