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 (reverse of what we normally do), Torrens Hill. 62km - Extremely Hilly!

Once a month to every 6 weeks, we will be rolling around parts of next years Bupa Stage for the TDU. This is so people can get a feel for how challenging this ride will be and train accordingly.

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.

Comment by Mr. Mapei on August 6, 2012 at 10:39: It was a great ride. The hils were challenging but climbable. So good to see Peter H, Richard Tormet, Mark H, Carl N et al on the climb to Kersbrook.

As noted by the riders on GS4 - the weather was very Belgian indeed. But - that's cycling... good days and better days.

Comment by Roger ... on August 5, 2012 at 21:47: I had a good time. Was good to see long time buddy Pete Hill riding and and at least 6 other Gully Grinder crew slogging the rain. We didnt get wet till after Cornishmans Hill. Paul and i were rugged up so well we actually hot till then.

Extra kudos to Andrew (I've seen worse) Винокуров who actually rode to and from the ride as if it was summer.

Comment by Peter Hill on August 5, 2012 at 21:16: Well, of course I didn't 'attend' but for a short stretch today I was amongst the GG's. Good to see you Roger and Andrew.

Comment by Dean Malden on August 5, 2012 at 15:42: Well done. I was about to get up but heard the rain. Waited in bed and the rain was heavier. I must get wet weather gear. Hope u all had a gr8 ride.
Well done

Comment by Gemma B on August 5, 2012 at 9:27: Kudos to Andrew, Roger, and Paul who gave the finger to the weather and Belgium'ed-up and rode today. Chapeau!

Comment by Gemma B on August 5, 2012 at 7:43: It's just started to absolutely pelt it down here in golden grove.

Comment by Roger ... on August 5, 2012 at 7:25: I'll be there too

Comment by Mr. Mapei on August 5, 2012 at 7:22: Heavy rain and thunder at Prospect - but looks like it will clear for the ride... I will be there. Andrew.

Comment by Roger ... on August 4, 2012 at 15:01: Don't feel any guilt. Not everyone did Checkers the last time we were up round there. Mind you there were a few that wished they had afterwards though. Torrens Hill is about the same Wynn Vale Drive plus a little ... trust me.

Comment by Gemma B on August 4, 2012 at 13:38: I've got to be at my folks place for 1pm (showered and looking somewhat respectable) so depending on how were doing for time I may have to take the detour as I'm pretty sure I'm going to be the slowest up torrents hill rd.
