Ride Details

The route is predominately a hill climber's ride starting in Gawler and finishing in Gawler.

The first half of the route, however, is flat and passes through Muno Para, Davoren Park, Elizabeth West, the Edinburgh precinct, Salisbury and eventually Salisbury Heights, where the first long steady climb starts on The Grove Way.

Reaching the top of The Grove Way gives way to a quick downhill, leading to its intersection with Golden Grove Rd which is ridden for a short distance until a right turn onto the One Tree Hill Rd marks the end of suburbia. The route continues gradually upwards and at one point passes over the historic Snake Gully Bridge (1874), then continues onwards through Sampson Flat until a left turn onto Crosshill Rd leads to the township of One Tree Hill.

The visit to One Tree Hill is only fleeting as a right turn onto Cornishmans Hill Rd starts the climbing again, eventually reaching the Gawler-One Tree Hill Rd via a short section of Uley Rd. A left turn onto Kentish Rd begins the final downhill run into Gawler which completes the ride.

IMPORTANT

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

Comment by Pete Roberts on September 7, 2012 at 23:30: So it developed into something nasty Nick :(

Comment by Nick on September 7, 2012 at 18:52: Scored a crook back and a lurgy during the week, so will regretably be giving this a miss. Bugger!

Comment by Peter Bond on September 6, 2012 at 23:19: Ive not ridden The Grove Way nor Snake Gully before, so you may have to wait for me along the way, but im looking forward to some new challenges.

see you on Saturday morning.

Comment by Frank (GW) on September 6, 2012 at 18:31: Ride Day/Time Local Weather Update as at Thursday 5.30pm

Hi everyone. Gawler weather forecast for Saturday morning below fyi. Looks like the cold-front will have moved on and riding conditions should be near perfect. There may be a slight drop of moisture teasing us so come prepared. Please also note:

1. Post-ride gathering will be at the Sunrise Bakery again...they have been advised.

2. Check your tyres for wear and correct pressure.

3. Please ensure you have Emergency ID contact details with you on all rides

4. Everyone is welcome including newbies. Only two sleeps to go....see you there!

Comment by Pete Roberts on September 5, 2012 at 22:10: Nice looking route. Who came up with that one ? :)

I will be missing this one, although, I may pop down to the bakery for a coffee after the event, as I have signed up fro my first race for the year with AHVCC so I will be taking it 'Easy' on the treadlie" ready for Sundays race.

You will be pleased to know that I am not been completely slack, as I have 'done' the Snake Gully loop twice this week already !

Comment by Dave, Lewiston on September 2, 2012 at 20:12: Enjoy the Red Deer hunt, Juz. Looks like a fun event, and the gear looks almost as pro as Wilson's :)
