A social group ride for riders new to the concept and fearing that they are 'too slow' for other group rides.

Meet 8:00am for an 8:15am ride.

Starting at McLaren Vale, next to the bike track at the Almond Train.

Averaging around 20kph to 25kph depending on the group, can be slower if required.

This is not a training ride and a Tail End Charlie will be appointed so that no one will be left behind.

There will be regular stops to regroup to ensure no one gets lost or left behind

We will also have the opportunity of having a chat and buy a well earned (and almost mandatory) coffee and cake at the end.

If you have ever wanted to go on group rides, the most important thing is to GET STARTED.

All riders with a mechanically sound road or flat bar type bike and an approved helmet are welcome.

All riders ride at their own risk and are advised to have public liability insurance, and to carry emergency contact details

Comment by Michelle Crick on September 9, 2012 at 16:17: Looks like you guys did do a slightly shorter ride than planned but the way you came is just as nice :-) and you were probably running a little late after sorting Shav out :-)

Comment by Matt Koukourou on September 9, 2012 at 11:43: Shav - does sound a little that way! Maybe the bike was worried you were going to smash it up Old Willy and piked it :)

Comment by Shav Bird on September 9, 2012 at 10:40: I know it sounds like a cop out but im starting to wonder if my bike is cursed. Ride cut short for me 2km in due to tire side wall blow out. Conti tire pulled away from beading and forced tube to rub. No spare tire no spare tube. Day ended.

Comment by RD6 on September 9, 2012 at 8:20: Pat - give me your helmet cover and I could ride like a demon possessed to a destination and swap over :)

Comment by Patrick O'Kane on September 9, 2012 at 8:16: I have a cunning plan.

Can the P riders throw tacks on the course at a designated spot, I feel a Steven Bradbury moment coming on. :)
