An undulating ride starting in Gawler and finishing in Gawler.

The Barossa Valley Way begins the return journey, passing through Lyndoch and onto Cockatoo Valley via Gilbert St and Pimpala Rd. A right turn onto Williamstown Rd leads back to Sandy Creek where the Barossa Valley Way is ridden back to Gawler.

Comment by Juz on November 2, 2012 at 14:26: OK, It doesn't take much to convince me to do stuff that I want to do :-)

See you all tomorrow morning! I'll be riding at a casual pace though; I'm riding to and from Amy's as well.

Comment by Barry Norsworthy on November 2, 2012 at 14:22: Am doing Amy's ride Sunday. Might actually do some work around the house Saturday :-)
@juz. Will be a good effort and good riding to do both.I think you would not have many problems at all.

Comment by Nick on November 2, 2012 at 14:17: Not at all juz...well maybe only slightly. My fitness just isn't what it was at the same time last year. You'll be fine!

Comment by Juz on November 2, 2012 at 7:54: All you guys are worrying me. I'm doing Amy's on Sunday and I intend to ride on Saturday too... Am I going to maim myself?

Comment by Nick on November 2, 2012 at 6:25: Think it best I give the ride a miss as I'm doing Amy's ride on Sunday and haven't had much time in the saddle of late. Enjoy the day!

Update: Ride Day/Time Local Weather Forecast as at Thursday 8.00pm

Hi all. Gawler weather forecast for Saturday morning below fyi. Looking good. There may be a drop of moisture early but it will warm up quickly.

The safety and well-being of all who attend GW rides is paramount, therefore we respectfully ask that the Ride Guidelines and Recommendations are read and understood prior to ride day.
