Ride Details A flat ride starting in Gawler and finishing in Gawler.

After leaving Gawler, the ride takes in the full 23 km Stuart O'Grady Bikeway (SOB) alongside the Northern Expressway.

The ride exits the southern end of the SOB and takes a combination of back roads including Mill Rd, Greyhound Rd and Mumford Rd until a left turn onto Heaslip Rd. Heaslip Rd is only ridden for a short distance before a right turn onto Edinburgh Rd takes the route through the Edinburgh Precinct, passing DSTO and the Edinburgh RAAF Base.

A left turn at Bellchambers Rd leads to Andrews Rd before re-entering the SOB via the Petherton Rd gate and returning to Gawler.

IMPORTANT
The Gawler Wheelers Group Ride Guidelines and Group Ride Recommendations must be read prior to attending a Group Ride Event.

Comment by Steven Ellison on April 25, 2012 at 15:12: If things work out I should be able to join you guys for another ride this weekend. Im looking forward to it!

Comment by john mills on April 23, 2012 at 18:37: And have fun all that are doing the Southward Bound adventure. Hope the weather fines up for you and the wind settles down. Look forward to seeing a few pics and reading your trip reports.

Comment by john mills on April 23, 2012 at 18:35: This will be an interesting one for me - new bike! Or should I say new second hand bike. About 7 or 8 years old apparently. I'm 3rd owner. Might have been a bit too hurried in grabbing this little 'bargain' as it is a bit too big frame wise. But am fiddling around with the handlebar and seat adjustments to make it fit as best possible. Appears to have same size frame as the steely, just a very long stem. Could be 'interesting'. Very twitchy. And I have cleats now too. So could be a laugh or too, provided I don't fall on top of you. Keep clear!

Comment by Andrew M on April 23, 2012 at 15:00: i'm also adventureteering to Port Elliot and back this weekend with some GW buddies - will post a report and some photos when we return.

Comment by Michael Moses on April 22, 2012 at 23:17: A bit annoyed that I am going to miss this one, its a great ride for the fixie!

Comment by Michael Bland on April 22, 2012 at 12:39: I'm a maybe ,,I've got the Ride For Pain on Sunday , but am real keen to check out this Son Of a Bitch too . The size of my Friday night could be the deciding factor .

Comment by terry heney on April 21, 2012 at 23:16: Oh good Frank was hoping for this ride next week...:) target will be to average 30kph

Comment by Juz on April 21, 2012 at 21:49: I'm also off on a cycle adventure to Port Elliott and back next weekend so will miss this one.

This will only be the 4th Gawler Wheelers ride I've missed since starting with the group... I'm not sure how I'll cope!
