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.

Comment by john mills on April 27, 2012 at 1:01: Sorry about huge font. Hit control C to do a copy and that's what happened! Couldn't undo it.

Comment by john mills on April 27, 2012 at 0:59: Tinkered with and tested! Going great Frank. New comfortable seat (from the steely), handlebars rotated 90 degrees down and backwards. Fits nicely now. Used data from the GPS to compare the old with the new over same route one week apart. New seems to be faster by 25% up hills and by 10% on the flat. So very happy with that.

Comment by Frank (GW) on April 26, 2012 at 21:55: @Lyndelle...we have scheduled this flat route just for you!
