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 Stuart O'Grady Bikeway (SOB) until the intersection with Curtis Rd.

The route then passes through Muno Para, Blakeview and eventually Craigmore via Adams Rd, where the first long steady climb starts on Yorktown Rd. The climbing continues with a left turn onto Black Top Rd which leads 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 May 12, 2012 at 11:51: Woke up really early and decided that this ride was to short so did One Tree Hill Kersbrook Williamstown Galwer home route for 85 kms. Sorry I missed you all.

Comment by Juz on May 11, 2012 at 19:48: Fantastic Caroline!! I'm so so stoked you're having a go at this one! (I hope your party goes well this evening!)

Comment by Andrew Jacks on May 11, 2012 at 19:47: OK, I have just inflated the tyres.

Looking forward to the ride as it will be my first one since January, so will be at the back of the pack :)

Comment by Caroline Cuthbert on May 11, 2012 at 18:17: I'm coming... HOWEVER... Chris will look after me as my personal TEC. I don't want anyone waiting for me at the regroups. This is going to be a real endurance test for me and I'm going to be horrendously slow... but I'm gonna have a go :o) I'll see you afterwards at Jaspers if we get back before you all head off to the rest of your Saturday :o)

Comment by Lyndelle Barry on May 11, 2012 at 17:28: I've consulted my medical team and it's been agreed that I can only go for a spin tomorrow. Therefore I'll join you all for the first part, then continue by myself when you all leave the SOB

Comment by Lorraine C on May 11, 2012 at 17:25: I've got 3 things to celebrate tomorrow:

My 21st ...... (ride with Gawler Wheelers)

My 1st Anniversary (of riding with Gawler Wheelers)

Big day tomorrow!

Comment by Michael Wetherley on May 11, 2012 at 16:52: Ive got a FREE ticket to the footy on Saturday. But still going to ride (im addicted so the wife says) but I may have to ride off ahead near to be home at 10.15ish

Comment by Frank (GW) on May 11, 2012 at 5:22: Weather is looking quite reasonable. :less than 1 mm raiin forecast so hopefully it will be dry. May be a bit chilly so come prepared. This is a shorter route than normal so we should be back at Jaspers by 10.00. CU THERE!
