SUNDAY IS LONG BEACH - HALLETT COVE WITH OUTER HARBOUR RETURN

This Sunday we are going to go the long beach.

We'll head from the City to Hallett Cove, then to Glenelg for coffee and then continuing north to Outer Harbour.

It'll be a good chance to get your Strava GF for March on the first day of the month, and then gloat at your high position in the rankings for a few hours until Europe and America wake up...

At coffee, people can ask all about this photo of Gui last Sunday:



See you all Sunday.

SUNDAY IS HAHNDORF WITH A RETURN TO BE DETERMINED

Doesn't it suck balls when you forget to post, or save, your blog post.

I said many witty things, but they are all gone.

They involved Hugh and Gui and sprinting.

But anyway, Sunday, Hahndorf, return to be determined over coffee and cake.

Meet in the City at 7.30am.

Or meet at the Bollards at 8.30am.

See you Sunday, the weather looks grouse, and it gives you an excuse to avoid the boganwagans.

SUNDAY IS OUTER HARBOUR VIA ANZAC HIGHWAY

Happy Wednesday one and all...

This Sunday is Outer Harbour via Anzac Highway.

After a smashing effort in the hills, where a great turnout added in excess of 1500vm to their tallies, the Cudlee Cafe set a new record for how long it can take to get an (albeit very good) coffee, and Aldo, still on 1 1/2 legs, smashed corkscrew and then told the rest of us we were going up, not down, Montecture, we are back to the flatlands.

Meet in the City at 7.30am.

Coffee at Glenelg.

See you all Sunday.

SUNDAY IS THE REVERSE CUDLEE CREEK CORKSCREW MONTACUTE RETURN

Righto team.

It's that time of the summer where the form is pretty good and the climbing legs are there (or thereabouts). We were scheduled for a Meadows Loop this Sunday, but we did that a couple of weeks ago, so instead, we are going to do a loop that we debuted just before Christmas, the reverse Cudlee Corker Monty.

Now before I hear any complaints, I was thinking we could turn this into a psychopathic PLH pretzel, where after completing Monty, we do the ranges again for a regular PLH. Really, it's not that hard is it???

I mapped it on Strava to see that it wasn't so bad, and here it is:

Oh gorgeousness and gorgeousity, these she is in her 112km and 2416 metres of beauty.

Anyway, let's leave that for a fifth Sunday of the month, and let's do this bad boy instead:

https://www.strava.com/routes/22845489

Meet in the City at 7.30am.

Meet at the Tower at 8.00am.

Estimated arrival at Cudlee Creek at 10.00am and departure at 10.30am.

Back in Norwood at 12.00pm.

There are multiple bailout options, but they shan't be required.

See you Sunday.

Did I mention March has five Sundays???

SUNDAY IS THE (ABSOLUTELY) NO EXCUSES CLUB RIDE

This Sunday is the No Excuses Club Ride.

We've had some really great turn outs over the last couple of months. With a full month of summer still to go, let's keep this rolling.

This Sunday is the (absolutely) no excuses Club Ride. If you haven't been out for ages, if you found the group was getting to fast for comfort, if you're not in great form... it doesn't matter. Sunday is your day.

Sunday will be a moderately paced Outer Harbour loop

Put in in your diaries, be there, don't not be there.

The Route: City, Port Rd, Outer Harbor, Glenelg for Coffee.

https://www.strava.com/routes/22700330

Meet in the City at 7:30 am.

This being said, I won't be there... I'm heading to Geelong this weekend to ride in the CEGORR People's Ride on Saturday, so will be don't a couple of extra repeats up Challambra Crescent on Sunday Morning.

Have a great time, and remember, no excuses (says the man with an excuse).

SATURDAY IS MEADOWS LOOP TDU HUNTING

As foreshadowed last week, we are going to do something different this weekend.

We don't appear to have any interest in the TDU Challenge Ride this year.

Anyway, we have an alternative option, which still allows people to do as they wish on Sunday.

On Saturday, the TDU route heads from Glenelg to Victor Harbour, with the second sprint being at Meadows just after midday. Some discussion has ensued, and we are proposing to visit one of our favorite locations, the Meadows bakery, for pie, custard tart and iced coffee to view the sprint.

We'll depart the city on our reverse loop FROM THE CITY at 8.30am, which will get us to Meadows around 10.30am.

We'll have a relaxing time sitting around and eating, before watching the sprint come through, and then heading off for the return trip via Mylor.

Non-riding members are more than welcome to join us at Meadows.

We've had a few already confirm their attendance, but if you haven't yet done so, could we get a show of who else is keen, so I can try to ensure sufficient baked goods are available?

Hit me up via WhatsApp or text to 0417 828 979, with a number attending (and number riding if less).

The pace will be steady, with the group waiting at the top of hills to make sure we have everyone with us.

See you Saturday.

SUNDAY IS BEACH VIA ANZAC HIGHWAY

Sorry for the late post, I've been working in Alice Springs this week.

Sunday is Beach via ANZAC Highway.

Meet in the city at 7.30am.

For reasons to become apparent, this weeks ride will be gentleman's pace. This means no excuses if your form is a bitty iffy.  Be there....

See you Sunday.

BG TDU RIDE - MEADOWS - SATURDAY 25 JANUARY 2020

So we don't appear to have any interest in the TDU Challenge Ride this year. I'm not surprised, it is a pretty rubbish course that finishes in Murray Bridge. Still, normally we get a few people seeking out that quality jersey that is include in your $$$$ of rego.

Anyway, we have an alternative option, which still allows people to do as they wish on Sunday.

On Saturday, the route heads from Glenelg to Victor Harbour, with the second sprint being at Meadows just after midday. Some discussion has ensued, and we are proposing to visit one of our favorite locations, the Meadows bakery, for pie, custard tart and iced coffee to view the sprint.

We'll depart the city on our reverse loop at 8.30am, which will get us to Meadows around 10.30am. We'll have a relaxing time sitting around and eating, before watching the sprint come through, and then heading off for the return trip via Mylor.

SUNDAY IS CUDLEE CREEK

Hi All

This Sunday, we'll head up to Cudlee Creek and show one of our key coffee locations some support.

Meet in the City at 7.30am.

SUNDAY IS THE NO EXCUSES CLUB RIDE

This Sunday is the No Excuses Club Ride.

If you look at the weather forecast, you will currently see there is a 40% chance of up to 2mm of rain. For those who aren't so flash with statistics, this means you would have to ride on three days with this forecast before you were statistically certain to get wet. Notwithstanding, since when has rain been an excuse to not come on a NO EXCUSES ride anyway???

Put in in your diaries, be there, don't not be there.
The Route: City, Port Rd, Outer Harbor, Glenelg for Coffee.

https://www.strava.com/routes/22700330

Meet in the City at 7:30 am.

See you Sunday -  NO Excuses, repeat, a 40% chance of rain is NOT an excuse.
