Sundays Ride is Pain Lives Here
Sunday looks like a cracking day weather wise. We have a short hills ride planned as its leading into Christmas. So it's Pain Lives Here otherwise known as the Ranges.
Meet: 7:30am in the City (Hindmarsh Square), 8:00am at the Tower Hotel
Route: Nortons, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd, Uraidla
Coffee at Uraidla (and a sausage roll for Michael)
Enjoy.
Sundays Ride is Hahndorf
We will go the normal way rather than the hardway via the national park as is in the ride guide. I can't believe I need to talk about dodgy weather in November but from the forecast Sunday is dodgy.
Meet: 7:30am in the City. 8:30am at the Bollards
Weather Call: 6:45am (Via WhatsApp)
Route: Glen Osmond Rd, Lofty bike track, Bollards, Aldgate Valley Rd, River Rd, Hahndorf

Sundays Ride - Reverse Cudlee Loop
Sunday’s weather is Sunny, Light Winds and 24 degree's so
perfect for a day out in the hills. From last sundays discussion there isn’t much
appetite for a 100km Epic but there is an appetite for Rhubarb and Raspberry crumble. So, we
will head back to Cudlee Creek this weekend but in the reverse direction.
Meet: City (Hindmarsh
Square) at 7:30am or the Tower Hotel are 8:00am
Route: Norton Summit, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range,
Lenswood. Fox Creek, Cuddle Creak
Alternate: If we are feeling energetic at Lenswood, we can
decide to do Lobethal
Coffee: Coffee is at Cudlee Creek
Return: Home via Gorge Rd, Stradbroke Rd etc
73km return 1100m of Climbing
At least with Brian's knees playing up he won’t be doing his usual and suggesting we turn left at the bottom of Kangaroo creek.
Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway
We return to the flats on Sunday and it looks like another cracjing day weather wise 20 degrees and light winds. We had a really great turn out last Sunday so lets keep it up this week.
Meet: 7:30am in the City
Route: Anzac Highway, Glenelg, Outer Harbor, Return to Glenelg
Coffee at Glenelg
Return: Back to the City or tack on a extention to get fitter
Next week is the 5th Sunday of the month and is a bit nebulous route wise. Not sure how many people want an Epic and I dont want to scare people off so a route discussion at Coffee would be appreciated.
Sunday Ride - Cudlee Creek
Last Sunday was anything goes. We headed out to Bradbury were the vets had a race on. Warren and I were briefly convinced we had our racing legs back as we chased the Vets D Grade up the hill into Bradbury. All up a cracking day in the Hills. Thanks to Tobias for the route sugestion.
This week we head to the Hills again but a much more gentle amount of climbing as a we head up to Cudlee Creek and the best cake in town. The out-back route is 75km and only 800m of Climbing so perfect if you havent been in the hills for a while.
Meet: 7:30am in the City or 8:00am at the Tower Hotel carpark
Route: City, Parade, Tower Hotel, Glen Stuart Rd, Morialta Rd, Stadbroke Rd, Gorge Rd to Cudlee Creek
Coffee: Cudlee Creek Cafe
Normal Return: Back Down Gorge Rd
Hard Return: Fox Creek, Swamp Rd, German Town Hill, Freeway
Virgo/Smith/Homburg Harden Up Special: Fox Creek, Lobethal Rd, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd, Lofty (Ah the good ol'e days)
Sundays Ride is Anything Can Happen
Yet again the club seems to be the victim of me doing Ride planning on the couch with one too many glasses of shiraz. In the interests of getting back to a normal Hills/Beach cadence next week this week is Anything can Happen.
Meet in the City at 7:30 during which a Civil discussion will take place about the route and coffee.
Meeting Time: 7:30 am
Route: City to Whereever and return Sometime
Coffee: Somewhere
TDU Cancellation
The TDU has been cancelled again next year and as a result there isnt an event / occasion to target. Lets discuss Coast to Coast, Revolve 24 ect at coffee.
Sunday Ride - BG Club Ride
Due to the long weekend Sunday was scheduled as "Anything Can Happen" which usually results in a long meandering route through the hills usually out to north or south to take advantage of the break. However the weather forecast for Sunday is dodgy. Hence we will revert this one back to the BG Club ride to Outer Harbor.
Meet in the City at 7:30am
Route: Outer Harbor via Port Rd
As always when the weather report is like this we will make a weather call on WhatsApp at 6:45am Sunday.
Sunday Ride - Surf and Turf
This ride was originally planned as Turf and Surf but based on some requests last Sunday we have decided to reverse it. This is partly because I expect a few of you will have had a bit of a bacchanalian Saturday night watching the "evening" Grand Final. I certainly intend to. So out of respect for fitness levels and hangovers we will do the rarely used Surf and Turf.
Meet in the City at 7:30am
Surf Route: City, Anzac Hwy, Esplande, Military Rd, Turn at Bower Rd, Return to Glenelg (Original BG route)
Coffee at Glenelg
Turf Route: Anzac Hwy, Greenhill Rd, Hallett Rd, Penfolds Rd, Norton Summit, Descend
Second Coffee at Norwood
Nina and Warren are excused as they are at the Grand Final and will probably sleep in anyway.
Sunday Ride – Is last week’s cancelled Ride
We Return to 7:30am Starts and the Hills - Pain Lives Here
The scheduled hills ride is Pain-Lives-Here as it gives the less fit people a chance to stretch their legs on Nortons and then ride through to Ashton before snagging a table and a Pork Sausage roll at Uraidla while they wait for the Deviation Rd group (Hint).
Route: Pain lives Here (The Ranges). Return via Lofty
Times: 7:30 am in the City and 8:00 am at the Tower Hotel carpark
Coffee: Uraidla and/or Norwood
