Sunday Ride 27/02 The Depths aka the original BG Ride

 


Sunday Ride 27/02 The Depths aka the original BG Ride

I have consulted the BOM, WeatherZone and the Mystic Runes again this week after making a completely crap call last week. So instead, I poured a glass of red and watched the tubby Kiwi guy on the You-Tube. He says the BG’s have two possible activities this Sunday. 

We either get together and build an Ark 300X50X30 Cubits or alternatively we go for a bike ride packing a light spray jacket. My Kiwi weather savant tells me that despite all the weather warnings and dire predictions this system may still miss us entirely.

So, I will fire up the Kobayashi Maru simulator again and make a weather call this Sunday. 

We have set the original BG Ride and we will use the mark 1 eyeball to make a weather call. If it’s raining or the pillars of heaven are shaking, we will call it. As thunderstorms are rated as “likely” even if does miss us we think the hills will be unwise.

A short beach loop will allow us some freedom to change things if the weather allows. 

Weather Call: 6:30 am

Meet: 7:30 am in the City

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

Coffee at Skala Bakery or Semaphore

Return via Henly Beach Rd
