Sunday Ride 15/03 – Long Training loop - Lenswood/Fox Creek Loop

 Sunday Ride 15/03 – Long Training loop - Lenswood/Fox Creek Loop 

Evening BG’s with the weather, we have been loath to schedule the longer hills loops. This Sunday is 29 degrees and lights winds so presents a perfect opportunity.

As the current rule is seize any particularly nice days for a Hills Ride we will do Hill two weeks in a row.

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 

This is my last long hit-out prior to the Tour de Cure so feel free to yell abuse and tell me how underdone I am. Brian you need to come out. I expect to have you yell at me at times like this.


Sunday Ride 08/03 - Hahndorf

  Sunday Ride 08/03 - Hahndorf

It’s light winds and 27 degrees on Sunday so perfect weather for Strudel. This week’s ride is Hahndorf via River Rd

Meet: 8:30 am at the Mt Lofty Bollards, that’s the top of the hill

Route: Old Mt Barker Rd, Mt Barker Rd, Aldgate Valley Rd, Mylor, River Rd Hahndorf 

Coffee at Hahndorf, caffe to be selected but Otto’s by default

Return Route decided at Coffee!

In my defence the weather call last week was 100% spot on. Dry if humid and the rain came 4 hours later as predicted. Pretty much perfect apart from the tyre shredding puncture
