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. After proceeding north along the Main North Road for a short distance, the climbing starts with a right turn onto Black Top Rd followed by another right turn onto Williams Rd which eventually links back onto Black Top Rd, leading to the township of One Tree Hill.

The visit to One Tree Hill is only fleeting as a left 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 Old Macdonald (Jon) on October 10, 2011 at 10:34: I'll be there for Route 26, but you'll have to wait for me at the top of the hills. You light fast buggers are just toooo quick, and I now know I have to let you go and pace myself!

Comment by Bretto on October 10, 2011 at 8:32: After the CVSA Livestrong ride I'm getting my taste back for the hills!!
