The tour is over, but the Olympics have started so a bit to discuss. Its either that or we can carry on my work discussion from this week. If you replace the frame, is it still the old bike with a new frame or a new bike with old bits?

Sunday Ride 21/07 - The Depths aka the original BG Ride

 Sunday Ride 21/07 - The Depths aka the original BG Ride

I have consulted the BOM and the long-range hour by hour forecast and realised that I as a weather forecaster I make a good IT guy. So for the third week in a row I have set the original BG Ride and we will use the mark 1 eyeball to make a weather call. If its raining or the winds are too high we will call it.

Weather Call: 7am

Meet: 8am in the City

Route: Anzac Hwy, Military Rd, U-Turn at Bower Rd and return

Coffee at Skala Bakery or Semaphore

Return via Henly Beach Rd

If it looks okay on the road Sunday, we can extend. Another week of good racing in the tour. I think Pogacar has it in the bag at this point.

The Tour start next Saturday 29th, I know this becuase Helen has the big map with the route spread out on the dining table. It looks to be a strange one this year with a lot of the big names injured and no Paris finish. Lots to discuss. 

Sunday Ride – Hallett Cove - With extention

 Sunday Ride  – Hallett Cove - with extention 

The weather for Sunday is currently forecast to be mostly sunny with light winds so no need to a a weather call. We also want to remind the legs that hills exist. Given its looks like a nice day and  Hugh’s least favourite ride is reckoned to be a bit short, we will tack on a bit. As Brian is most likely sparked out under an olive tree with a bottle of Restina in one hand and a Yiros in the other he is unlikely to join.  

Meet in the City (Hindmarsh Square) at 8:00 am

Route: City, Unley Rd, Goodwood Rd, Spagetti Junction, Seacombe Rd, Wheatland St, Kuri Parade, Brandon Tce, The Cove and then back via the Espalande to Glenelg, Glenelg to West Beach

Sunday Ride – Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

Weather Call 7:00 am

Meet: In the City, Hindmarsh square 

Time: 8:00 am

Route: Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy. Seaview Rd, Esplanade, Military, Lady Gowrie and return

Coffee: Determined by legs and weather but Semaphore looks likely

We have had a lack of togetherness on the flat rides, so we strictly enforce the, “ride together”, “go as hard as you like” segments and regather points on this one. 

When I say enforce, I mean I will be cross.
