Sunday
Ride 13/12/24 – Hot Weather Policy
As
Sunday’s forecast is for 40 degrees on Sunday the BG hot weather policy is
activated.
Sundays
Forecast is 40 degrees, moderate winds and it will be warm overnight. Hence the
ride is short and designed to get us home by 10am before the heat. We will
decide on the road if it’s better to ice coffee at Henley / Glenelg or ride
back to town and ice coffee or sparkling red (not that there is anything wrong
with that) at Norwood
Meet:
7:00am in the City – Please Note the Early Start
Route:
The Original. Anzac Hwy, Bower Rd, Henley Beach Road Return
Coffee
To be decided by consensus.
Make
sure you freeze your bottles.
A
Very Bastardi Christmas to you all
This
Sunday is the Christmas Show ride. It will be a Beach ride with optional hills.
We
did consider the 80km Full Monty with 1700m of climbing but decided it’s
Christmas and we should show goodwill to all fitness levels.
Meet
in the City at 7:30am.
Route:
Outer Harbour via Port Rd and return to Glenelg, A caffeine stop at Glenelg.
Depart Glenelg by 10 am
Up
Cross Road to the Freeway.
Low
Climb option: Boucat St, Evard St, Giles Rd (small climb) Sunnyside Drive, Devereaux
Rd, Greenhill Rd, Hallett Rd, wait for the climbers or down to the Tower for
early beer.
Climb
Option: Up the freeway, Mt Osmond Rd, Dashwood Drive, Greenhill Rd on to Hallett
Rd, Kensington down to the Tower.
The
Pace as always for the Christmas Ride is leisurely as the Pub isn’t open until 11:30.
Lunch:
We are aiming to reach the Tower for Lunch by 11:30am. I have booked a table
under Aldo. If you can’t Ride or have decided to do the full Monty we would
still like to see you all for a catch up.
