Sunday Ride 16/03 – Short Beach

 

Sunday Ride 16/03 – Short Beach

I have consulted the BOM and the long-range hour by hour forecast and Sunday looks dodgy. However, we were meant to get 45mm and the 65mm in Mudgee and didn’t get a drop. Leura on the other hand started out foggy and then was just wet. So, you can’t trust the BOM.

 We have set a short beach ride and l will update tomorrow based on the forecast. If it’s raining or the winds are too high we will call it. It’s meant to be Hills and if the weather gods smile we will decide in the morning.

Weather Call: 6:30 am

Meet: 7:30 am in the City

Flat Route Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, Semaphore

Coffee at Semaphore

Return via Port Rd

Racing has started again in Europe. It was the Strada Bianca and the Peaks ride last weekend. A bit to discuss.
