SUN RIDE 31/7 - MEADOWS LOOP

SUNDAY RIDE

One of Brian's favourite rides this week, and with forecast fine conditions would be a good one to test out the legs on a bit longer ride. I'm thinking 9am at the BP servo for those that want a head start. As per the last few winter hills rides the aim will be to stick together, with regular regroups at the tops of hills so everyone stays involved.

Start 8:00am at Hindmarsh Square - Unley Road - Windy Point - Main Rd, Belair - Coromandel Pde, Blackwood - Murrays Hill Rd, Coromandel Valley - Main Rd, Chandlers Hill - Clarendon Rd - Clarendon - Kangarilla Rd - Kangarilla - Dashwood Gully Rd - Meadows (coffee and cake at Bakery) - Battunga Rd - Echunga - Aldgate/Strath Rd - Mylor - L onto Stock Rd then Aldgate Valley Rd to Aldgate - Mt Barker Rd, Stirling - R onto Pomona Rd - L onto Old Mt Barker Road - L at monument onto Piccadilly Rd, Crafers - thru roundabout onto Old Freeway course back to City.

Approximate distance: 100km subject to where you live.

This is a great ride with some challenging long climbs and long flat sections. It is a good hitout for the winter and it would be beneficial for all to participate. See you all on Sunday morning.

In typical Wilson fashion, I stayed up long enough to see him start and then fell asleep before the first time check. It didn't matter, cuddles got it done, when he needed to.

So will Julia follow Bob Hawke, and announce the public holiday?

I make no promises about my attendance given a planned big night Saturday. However, I'd like to think a little Cadel inspiration will see me out there Sunday morning. And, I do agree Frank, Cadel wins this week by the length of a straight. Looks like with a good team around him, he may now be a bloody good chance!

Cadel showed some of the biggest names in this years tour what power and sheer guts is - hitting the go button a long way from the line and hanging on with pure ozzie grunt! FS
