Sunday Ride - Up and Over - Short Hills + Beach

 Sundays Ride is an Up and Over Short Hills + Beach

This ride was scheduled as the easy closing Hills ride of season. So make and effort to get out and enjoy the Hills in nice weather before we move into Winter. Its really approachable if you haven't been out to do hills in a while. 

Meet : In the City at 8:00am or the Tower Hotel at 8:30am

The Route: Norton Summit, Ashton, Greenhill Rd, Mt Lofty, Toll Gate, Cross Rd, Glenelg

Coffee: Officially coffee is at Glenelg. An early coffee may be called at Uraidla so that Michael can get a "spicy pork sausage roll" fix.

The Return: Set as Military Rd / Esplanade to Semaphore, Return via Port Rd or alternate via consensus.

Distance:  85km (50km to Coffee) and 800m of climbing

Weather for Sunday looks good: 24 degrees

The Giro has been excellent in case you haven't been watching. The Gravel climbs have really shaken things up.

There is now a new world in Zwift,  Makuri Islands - Yumezi. Its a Japanese world in case you haven't guessed and is set up to be expanded later. Speculation is more roads near the Olympics.  So crack a Pocari Sweat and enjoy   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92b-BbNWnyE

The KKK Story
The Kat Killer Klassic honors the anniversary of one cats tragic death and Dave’s spectacular fall. For those not in the know early 2009 David C, an original BG and mad cyclist took a bad fall when his paths crossed with a suicidal kitty that resulted in the cat ending up in Dave’s front wheel and subsequently jamming into his fork effectively stopping his front wheel ‘dead’ and ejecting him into the bitumen. The cat survived the ordeal but passed later that night.

The BG can’t thank the owner of the cat enough for her assistance with an unconscious David and we respectfully hope the cats death was not to traumatic – R.I.P.P.
