Event Description

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

As this will be the last Southern Suburbs Road Cyclist's ride before Christmas we have decided to add a stop at the park on the corner of Main Road and Stump Hill Road, not far from the visitors centre. A bbq serving egg and bacon rolls will be going by the time we arrive (around 9.15am) as well as coffee and tea. This will be made available for a donation of your choosing to cover costs. Any excess funds raised will be donated to the Amy Gillett Foundation. The finishing time of this event has been altered to accommodate this stop.

Averaging around 20kph (can be slower if need dictates).

Starts and finishes at the Port Noarlunga Institute car park (near Becks Bakery) at the always sunny Port Noarlunga.

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 on what will be a gently undulating track.

Main roads will be avoided wherever possible.

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

Meet for a rider briefing at 7.30am for a 7.45am start.

***** A call on whether the ride will proceed will be made at 8pm the 16th December, this Friday.******

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.
