Event Description
A CERVO ROSSO GROUP RIDE with a twist!
Required:
1. A sense of adventure,
2. GPS cyclo-computer or Strava-enabled smartphone,
3. At least one Cervo Rosso kit item/s (go to www.cervorosso.com to buy)
All roads lead to Strathalbyn on June 16 for the inaugural Red Deer Brevet - where you score points according to the route you take to get there.
The aim is to arrive at Strath at 11:00 am for a well earned brunch. However, how you choose to get there is entirely up to you. Once you get there, you will be awarded points according to the formula.......
Climbing metres divided by km's travelled divided by hours travelled.
800m divided by 60km in 2 hours 30 minutes would give you 5.3 points as opposed to 1200m in 85km over 2 hours would give you 7.1 points and hence a higher points score
Ride conditions:
1. Must travel at least 50km
2. Must start your ride within the Adelaide Parklands - see parklands map here
3. Must wear at least one item of Cervo Rosso attire -
you have until the event to purchase online or from Upfront Bikes at O'Halloran Hill.
Prizes include:
- a Strada CX long sleeve - product link HERE
- and CR woollen beanies - product link HERE
Once we have enjoyed the delicious fare of what Strathalbyn has to offer, we will return to Adelaide on masse via the same route.
It is entirely up to you how seriously you wish to take up the points challenge. Let your route planning begin!
Note: No deer will be harmed during the staging of this event!

A most enjoyable ride with a difference, wondering who will turn up at the end instead of the start....... not a wet road in sight to Strath to meet up with the adventurous group of eight intrepid riders.
Yours truly won the jersey but despite earnestly wanting to keep it,mmm... where have I heard that before! :), it's back in the prize pool for Lobethal on July 28. Derek and Ray scored the luxuriant CR beanies and kudos to all for an most excellent day. Looking forward to seeing some great pro shots from the Trap-ster! Thanks for coming out and making a great day even better.
Special mention to Alistair for coining a new phrase "Dop-stop" - which is where you need a 3 minute stop for a sleeves on or sleeves off configuration of the CR Doppio 2.0 vest/jacket.

Thanks to Steve for an extremely well organised event. And to trappy who did her Graham Watson impersonation really well. To the riders who participated including the 'Secret Squirrel' riders who can't be named ! 150Km of joy, apart from the bloody head wind on the way back and the drop in temp of about 10c. I am stocked that I came second overall (Pensioner concession applied) and will wear my Cervo Rosso prize with great respect and honour. Bring on Red Brevet 2

A-Man, now you are getting into the winter spirit.
With some waterproof booties and your Doppio, you can't go wrong.

OK, I've been to several councillors and they all said the same thing, BTFU and get out there. So to that end I will see you at Strath, if it rains I'll get wet.
