Sunday Ride 30/06 - The Depths aka the original BG Ride

 The Depths aka the original BG Ride  

Sunday looks clear, light winds and 15 degree but after what looks like a very wet Saturday anything could happen. Thats why I have set the original BG Ride and will make a weather call.

Weather Call: 7am

Meet: 8am in the City

Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, U-Turn at Bower Rd and reurn

Coffee at Skala Bakery or Semaphore

Return via Henly Beach Rd

If it looks okay on Sunday we can extend.

The tour starts this weekend so get the tv watching doona's and snacks ready.  See you Sunday.

Sunday Ride 23/6 – Outer Harbor via Port Rd 

Happy Winter Solstice. 

The weather looks good sunny and moderate winds it will be 5 degrees when we start. So, rug up.

Time: 8:00 am

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

Coffee: At Glenelg by default

Return via ANZAC hwy

The Tour start next Saturday 29th, I know this becuase Helen has the big map with the route spread out on the dining table. It looks to be a strange one this year with a lot of the big names injured and no Paris finish. Lots to discuss.

Sunday Ride – Hallett Cove - With extention

 Sunday Ride  – Hallett Cove - with extention 

The weather for Sunday is currently forecast to be mostly sunny with light winds so no need to a a weather call. We also want to remind the legs that hills exist. Given its looks like a nice day and  Hugh’s least favourite ride is reckoned to be a bit short, we will tack on a bit. As Brian is most likely sparked out under an olive tree with a bottle of Restina in one hand and a Yiros in the other he is unlikely to join.  

Meet in the City (Hindmarsh Square) at 8:00 am

Route: City, Unley Rd, Goodwood Rd, Spagetti Junction, Seacombe Rd, Wheatland St, Kuri Parade, Brandon Tce, The Cove and then back via the Espalande to Glenelg, Glenelg to West Beach 

Coffee at Skala Bakery

Return via Henley Beach Rd 

See you all out on Sunday

Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

 Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway 

This week is the beach ride down ANZAC highway and out to Outer Harbour. The run of great but frigid weather has officially ended this Sunday.  So, it will be a weather call this Sunday.

Weather Call 7:00 am

Meet: In the City, Hindmarsh square 

Time: 8:00 am

Route: Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy. Seaview Rd, Esplanade, Military, Lady Gowrie and return

Coffee: Determined by legs and weather but Semaphore looks likely

We have had a lack of togetherness on the flat rides, so we strictly enforce the, “ride together”, “go as hard as you like” segments and regather points on this one. 

When I say enforce, I mean I will be cross.
