Grand Slam #2. How was your ride ?
Having two weeks off the bike due to a chest infection, I was a little unsure if I would ride today.
I set out thinking I would just take it easy ( smell the roses ) and see how it goes...
Conditions were almost perfect for riding today, and many of my Gawler Wheeler and AC friends were at Mt Torrens ready to enjoy the day. Before I knew it, we had zoomed around the almost flat course, and were enjoying sitting in the sun chatting about another Grand Slam completed.
How was your ride today ?

Loop one was sensational, bit chilly at the start, but really good riding. Didn't do loop 2 , so cant comment. But we couldn't have got a more perfect day really.

What a beautiful day for a ride!
Loop 1 was a blast, got on to some good groups and had fun.
Loop 2 I was pretty much running solo. A harder course with a bit more climbing
Another enjoyable ride thanks to BikeSA and all the volunteers.

What a great day out! As a relative noob to this sport, I can't say I found the course quite as flat as my excellent GW comrade Pete (even with the remnants of a bug what's more!), it was a lot of fun, on a perfect autumn day in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. Another well run event by BikeSA - well done (& thankyou!) to all the very helpful volunteers.

Rode to and from the Grand Slam today to add a few extra kilometres to the total for the day. Basically a 100 km ride was turned into a 200 km day. Thankyou to all the volenteers as had a great day.

Thats a big effort. Will you be riding to the last one (200km) ?

Probably will do to get well over 300 km for the day....Im always amazed at those Audax riders who knock off greater distances than me :) Matt Rawnsley is a legend :)

Loved it ! Perfect riding weather + great course = Ride time 3:!2 ,avg 29.2 km/hr ,a P.B.for me @ that distance. I managed to stick in a couple of very fast bunches for about 1/2 of each lap .
Great day ,, bring on #3
