Sunday Ride - Hallett Cove

I am sitting here looking at the storm rage outside and posting Sundays ride. This weeks is Hallett Cove with some small hills to test the legs.

Monitor whatsapp as the weather is looking 50/50 for Sunday.

Meet  in the City at 8:00 am

As for winter hibernation, too many crumpets, dark mornings etc. It came as a bit of a shock but we only have two rides left on the Winter Schedule and then a Club Ride before the necessity of scheduling sends us into spring training.

So get yourself ready for spring and as a wise Bastardi (Saggio Bastardo) once said "Pain is just the weakness leaving your body"

Sundays Ride - No Excuses

Sundays Ride is the no excuses Club ride. Numbers have been very disappointing lately even when the weather has been good so please make an effort to make it out. 

The Weather for Sunday look excellent for cycling or just generally getting out

16℃ Mostly sunny. Light winds becoming northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day


So the Weather isn't an excuse. Also bring a mate we are always welcoming.   

See you Sunday.

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

Sunday's Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway. After a rough month weather wise it looks like the cycling gods may smile on us 

Sundays forecast: 16℃ Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a shower, most likely in the evening. Light winds.

Meet in the City at 8:00 am

Be prepared to discuss Tour de France and the routes for Tour down Under. All Football related discussions are banned until the Crows and Port pull their collective digits out.

Sunday Ride - Hallett Cove

Well as one of the back markers I can testify both to the effects of a crosswind and the feeling of trying to close a gap that never seems to to close.  So I really feel for the riders on Stage 10. A little wind certainly shook up the TdF.

Anyway to Sunday's Ride, Hallett Cove via Anzac Highway 

Meet in the City at 8:00am

Last week Geoff, Mike and I turned up after a Whatsapp discussion  triggered by no rian on the radar. Unfortunately it was stealth rain and we called the ride off at Greenhill rd and went for coffee.

Tour Down Under
The Stages for this years TDU have been released. 

https://tourdownunder.com.au/race/mens/stages

It looks like a excellent year for riding out from the city for viewing with only the Saturday stage looking a bit impractical to view by bike once it gets past Meadows. Stage 3 doubles back on itself and completes one of the Cudlee Creek loops in the opposite direction which took a bit of squinting and then looking at the point to point to figure out. However will be a great one to ride out and watch.

For those like me who use the Challenge tour as a bit of a fitness target. Its now back to the Friday stage and is fairly hard day in the saddle at 164km to Murray Bridge via Mannum with a shade under 1900m of climbing. KOM is at Prospect Hill.

Cliche!

However if you type "Queens Birthday Bicycle" into Mr Google you get some erm  interesting results. However I couldn't go past the original single cover for Queens Bicycle race. Enjoy. For the young-uns a single was a plastic disc with two songs on it.
