Event Description

Update:

The weatheris looking perfect - 29c and clear but with a cool start.

I was refreshing myself with the ride info and route and see that the sign-on is from 05.30am for a 0645am group photo and briefing and all riders need to sign and hand over an indemnity form to get a wristband.

The form is available from their website here. If you are like me it's best to print and sign now and put with your kit so it's not forgotten.

There is still time to sign up for the ride as well. All the money goes to charity.

There is an event posting on AC so if you RSVP to that we can see who else is riding.

Comment by Patrick O'Kane on January 14, 2012 at 14:39: Just bumping this to the top of the page :)

Looking forward to this ride, it's the best organised and catered event and all the money goes to worthy charities,. How good is that?

I met lots of AC regulars en route last year, no doubt even more this year as the forum gets bigger and bigger.

Hopefully it's like Amy's Ride after the event with a big AC party on the oval, C U there.

Comment by Jack Graham on January 10, 2012 at 11:08: I'm in. Look out for the dude on the deck-chair in the Cancer Voices outfit and say G'day.

Comment by Ashleigh Moore on January 9, 2012 at 18:59: Just received notification that registrations for Ride Like Crazy have been extended and now do not shut til late Saturday night.. 14 Jan. Also any registrations after last Nov will not get a RLC jersey in time for the event... so wearing a non RLC jersey is approved and expected.

As in previous years I expect this to be another excellent well supported and well organised ride. Another thing that makes it increasingly the favourite for many during the TDU week is that is a loop so everyone gets back home to the start in Adelaide.

Cancer Voices SA are keen to see as many of our team riding and supporting this event that is 'dedicated to cancer' - it's in memory of Mick Kerner, funds from registration go to Flinders Cancer Centre, cancer awareness is raised in the community, etc, etc..

So if you are a late entry (like me and many others) or just want to "raise awareness" of cancer then "Wear Yellow" this Sunday put on your "Cancer Voices SA jersey" and we'll see you at the start.

Comment by David B.o.R. on January 9, 2012 at 17:19: I'm in, second time for me.

Comment by Jeremy Champion on January 9, 2012 at 11:54: I'm in four from four. Even got to meet Mick (Crazy) at the first one. He was pretty sick but still a full on character and was so humble about the whole thing. Yes the left lane is closed off for cyclists and the police shut down the Glen Osmond/Cross /Portrush/Mt Barker Road intersection for long periods to allow the masses through.

Comment by Johnny Mac on January 9, 2012 at 11:38: I'm in for the second time. I really enjoyed it last year as it's a well organised event. Not sure whether to wear my AC gear or my CVSA. Might do a combo of AC pants and CVSA jersey.... Might look like A dogs breakfast but looks aren't everything!

Comment by Michael Moses on January 9, 2012 at 11:20: This will be my 3rd time riding this event, really enjoy it!

I registered to late for the jersey, will be wearing my AC jersey with pride!
