Sunday Ride 04/10 – The Ranges – October Long Weekend Special Stage
The October long weekend is here and, as has become the standard in recent years, Sunday’s ride will be the Ranges so short enough to do other stuff on Sunday. The forecast looks about as friendly as we could reasonably ask for: “Partly cloudy, around 18 degrees, light winds and only a very small chance of rain.” That sounds like Hills weather.
Daylight-saving reminder number one: the clocks go forward one-hour early Sunday morning, from 2:00 am to 3:00 am, so we lose an hour of sleep.
So in an effort to be kind we will start at 7:45 am.
Meet: 7:45 am at the Tower Hotel
Route: Tower, Norton Summit, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd and Greenhill Rd.
Coffee and the obligatory pastry product at Uraidla.
Return: Negotiated at coffee, with Norton Summit the sensible default.
