Comment by Frank (GW) on August 10, 2012 at 20:20: Good evening all. Looking like two great groups for tomorrow's rides!! Are you ready?? Couple of last last minute reminders if I may:

1. It will cool early on so don't foget your full gloves, arm warmers etc.

2. Check your tyre pressure....suggest 110-120 psi. Incorrect tyre pressure = more punctures.

Be good....see you in the morning....be there!!!

Comment by David Jeffries on August 10, 2012 at 17:41: Dissappointed that I will not be able to ride this week due to a very serious case of "Man Flu" Next week for sure

Comment by Frank (GW) on August 9, 2012 at 18:28: Ride Day Saturday Local Weather Forecast as at Thursday 5.00pm

Here it is friends. It may be a little on the cool side early on so come prepared. Otherwise it looks like pure perfect cycling conditions. All welcome including those who may have not previously enjoyed the GW experience. Newbies welcome. ONLY two sleeps to go...... see YOU there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Frank (GW) on August 7, 2012 at 21:24: Howdy Terry. Due to the Gawler Wheelers Consitution and strict conditions applied by various regulatory bodies, (both State and National) we are unable to vary a route once it has been posted. However suggestions like yours are more than welcome prior to posting of the next weeks ride. Happy to do to next time we ride this route Terry. Since GW started we have rigidly stuck to this rule Terry....it gives everyone certainity that the route we post is the exact route we will ride on the day.Trust that you understand.Cheers.
