Event Description

Wednesday for a 6am rollout at the Tower Hotel

Ride to NS and on to Mt Lofty summit or Marble Hill or return as you want.

Mid week hump day recovery ride. No Strava segments will be beaten. Suits Norton Summit climbers (5.6kms) of 22 - 26mins.

Embrace winter! Learn to love the AM and have a glow of smugness for the rest of the day (while your feel thaw out) from your early morning achievement (getting out of bed) and for what you enjoyed - sunrise, koalas and your bike.

Must be up for a chat and have good lights.

This is planned to be weekly. In time drop your name in if you will be there. It just gives you more motivation when you know someone will be there waiting.

Please note this is not an organised ride, you should have insurance and this site and organiser accepts no responsibility for damage, injury or other.

checking tyres now and getting stuff ready - might need a midnight snack of porridge....

Comment by Gus K on May 15, 2012 at 11:59: 0558! I reckon a jacket is OK if you wear a light base-layer. We ride pretty cruisy so keep the sweat minimal. It does say 7C.

Everyone's welcome. Look at the weather today. If you don't make the effort you'll sit at work and regret you didn't ride.

See you all at 0555.

Comment by Tim B on May 14, 2012 at 16:25: Lets see if I can drag my lazy backside out of bed and meet some of you guys

Comment by Gus K on May 14, 2012 at 15:02: Yep, it's always warmer when it's dark, then it's coldest just before sunrise.. but then you're warmed up so it's fine.

Just a lovely dawn wander up the hill. Perhaps another week we can head up to Waterfall Gully or something.

Comment by CLP on May 14, 2012 at 14:59: should be an excellent chance to try out some new AC Winter kit ;)

Comment by CLP on May 14, 2012 at 14:46: reckon i'll be there! only to NS for me though :)

Comment by Rob (Chewbacca) on May 14, 2012 at 14:09: it would mean a 5am start for me....would be a good excuse to get out of the house and have a casual ride
