Sunday Ride 30/11 – A little Italian Pain

Sunday Ride 30/11 – A little Italian Pain

No not me. I am a big Italian pain.

A slightly early post this week as tonight is the work Xmas party, so I am posting before I forget. The quality of the weather forecasts has dropped substantially so it may be wet and windy Sunday or it may be sunny. Regardless a flat ride is a no go with the car race.

If the hills are doable, we will mix things up a bit we will do the rarely used Little Italy loop.

Weather Call: 6:30 am

Meet: 7:30 am at the Tower

Route:  Tower, Nortons, Ashton, Pond Rd, Little Italy (Burdetts Rd), Basket Range, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd

Coffee and the obligatory pastry product at Uraidla

Return: Greenhill Rd, Lofty, Mt Osmond Rd, Backstreets, Glynburn Rd back to the Tower.

If the Hills are not doable, we will do a flat ride avoiding the city. Either via Cross Rd or Grange Rd

See you Sunday.

Sunday Ride 23/11 – BG TDU Epic Training loop - Lenswood/Fox Creek Loop

 Sunday Ride 23/11 – BG TDU Epic Training loop - Lenswood/Fox Creek Loop 

Evening BG’s with all the shitty weather, we have been loath to schedule the longer hills loops. This Sunday is 30 degrees and lights winds (it’s shitty Saturday) and the access to the city is cra-cra. 

So, we have set a ride longer hills loops to make sure that (a) you have lots of credit in the calorie bank for Christmas, (b) We have a decent long hills to prep for the TDU Epic

Given that a recon by bike of the actual EPIC route will be a full day this is a good substitute. So, before we all go into a month of eating and drinking far too much here is the pre-emptive calorie burn ride.  

Meet at the Tower Hotel at 7:30 am for a leisurely departure

Route: Norton’s, Ashton, Basket Range, Forest Range, Lenswood, Fox Creek (downhill)

Cudlee Creek ETA 9:45 am. 

Coffee at Cudlee Creek. 

Return via Gorge Rd, Corkscrew for the mad 

We should depart Cudlee Creek no later than 10:30am to get us all back on time.

Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Port Rd – No Excuses Club ride

As we haven’t had a club ride in a bit I will book a club ride for Sunday as the weather looks iffy. The forecast says after it will come in after 3pm and if that looks like the case and the morning is good we will head to the hills from the city. I will post of WhatsApp if we call the change just in case anyone (hint!) wants to meet us enroute.
