Updated Ride Day/Time Local Weather Forecast as at Thursday 5.00pm

Hi everyone. Weather forecast for Saturday morning below fyi. The warmer weather is here so you can start layering down and stripping off !!

Important safety reminders if I may:

Please read the bunch riding rules if you are not familiar with them:

http://www.tourdecure.com.au/uploads/bunchriding.pdf

Always carry Emergency ID Contact Details when you ride
Check tyres before each ride for wear and correct pressure
Getting warmer so two water bottles highly recommended

Should be a fantastic morning riding through the beautiful Barossa Valley. Take your pick from this weeks two GW rides. All welcome...don't worry if you have not been on a GW ride before...just turn up by 7.10am and we will do the rest.

Only two sleeps to go...C U THERE!

Comment by Scott Davis on September 20, 2012 at 0:21: I hope I can get to the ride this week, and hope the uphill bits don't defeat me, but I won't know if I don't try...

Comment by Lorraine C on September 19, 2012 at 22:50: Can't make this ride unfortunately, going to Melbourne for a 21st. Have fun everyone!

Comment by Kev Thomas on September 15, 2012 at 17:10: After being on the Sunshine coast for a week it feels like all I have been doing is eating and drinking. I look forward to this ride to burn all the calories off. This route will do the trick just fine.
