Event Description

Start/Finish: Prices Bakery cnr The Grove and Golden Way's 5125

Meet at car park of Prices Fresh Bakery Golden Grove at 7:45am for safety briefing for 8am roll-out.

Route: Golden Grove > Kersbrook > GG. Taking in the following hills: Cornishmans, Kersbrook, Torrens Hill. 62km - Extremely Hilly!

This is the first section of the 2013 Bupa Challenge Tour ride for the TDU. This ride is being organised so people can get a feel for how challenging this ride will be and train accordingly. Follow-up rides will occur that will take in other parts of the course.

The map above is of the course and can be used to generate a .fit file to send to your garmin gizmo.

Will plan re-group spots and will have dedicated TECs that ensure no one is left behind. The regroup spots allow everyone to go at their own pace - never pressure on the slower riders.

We will be following the guidelines outlined in the .pdf here: http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/gully-grinders-north-east-cyclists/page/gully-grinders-group-ride-guidelines

This is a social group ride, all are welcome to join. Please RSVP on this event page.

@arthur, don't worry I'm sure we will ride this again before January or incorporate sections into other rides (the first part up to cornishmans is what we did two weeks ago).
@michael, you'll be right mate - rock on!

Comment by terry heney on October 10, 2012 at 22:09: Oh gawwwdddd Mick hahahaha,. Think I just follow Gemma if I roll up on the day...

Comment by Mick Adams on October 10, 2012 at 22:01: Terry, by the look of the route its as laid out after kersbrook return via chain of ponds not gorge road, at least that is my take from Rogers comments.

Comment by terry heney on October 10, 2012 at 21:54: Escape routes? Now I am really confused..I get lost just walking to my local post office at times..when I find it that is lol....So is the original route UP Torrens Hill ?
