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

After leaving Gawler, the ride follows the Barossa Valley Way passing through Sandy Creek and Lyndoch. The ride continues on to picturesque Williamstown, via Lyndoch Valley Rd, where it will be possible to have a short break.

The ride continues with a left turn onto Mount Crawford Rd, from Williamstown's main street, which soon becomes Warren Rd, climbing gradually upwards towards Warren Reservoir. Once the peak is reached the route is reversed, with a fast downhill run back to Williamstown's main street.

Leaving Williamstown via Yettie Rd, the route then continues onto Balmoral Rd and Calton Rd before the final downhill run to Gawler.

Enjoy the ride everyone :o)

Comment by Pete Roberts on April 20, 2012 at 23:30: So just how many weeks have you Missing in Action Nick ?

Comment by Mick Adams on April 20, 2012 at 21:49: Looks like rain after 12 so should be a nice ride, 23 k/hm winds may be a different story though.

Comment by Lyndelle Barry on April 20, 2012 at 20:17: Took the new girl (which I thought was a boy but is definitely female) out on some undulations today. Not at all happy with descents yet so we'll sit this one out. See you next week for a non-hills ride

Comment by Nick on April 20, 2012 at 19:07: Sorry, won't be able to make it as son's footy is clashing with GW. Damn, will miss y'all!

Comment by Dale (rouleur) Riggs on April 20, 2012 at 9:34: Looks like a big turnout, hope the weather holds.

Comment by Mike W on April 18, 2012 at 14:16: Don't finish work until about 10pm Fri night so will probably take (need) the extra hour and a bit sleep in and still make it south with the Muddies.

Comment by Andrew Jacks on April 18, 2012 at 14:01: OK my Physio has just given me the news that I can now ride my bike :) She did not say take it easy, so I hope to be there on Saturday.
