Gully Grinders Bazz's Bash - Ride #6 Ride Report - A cruise around the foothills

A brisk morning turned into a beautiful day for a ride, we could not ask for more perfect weather to welcome two new riders to the group - welcome Kylie and Craig!  Six riders made it out to the Gully Grinders sixth onslaught on the north east suburban roads on a route called "Bazz's Bash".  Sadly McIntyre road gave Bazz a bit of a bash two days ago, so sporting some nasty looking road rash Bazz very kindly became our very own 'Graham Watson' (cycling photographer) for the day - who's handiwork graces this report.

Kasey showed the puncture fairy who's boss and screamed around 'Bazz's Bash' to beat us to the end.  Due to my being a bit of a spanner and taking a 'wrong turn at albuquerque', Roger and I were second to arrive back at Prices.  A change will now be made to proceedings such that TEC and Ride Leader will exchange phone numbers at the start of a ride, as poor Daryl (Ride Leader today) looped back to try to find Roger and I  (who were at the cafe), something that next time with phone#'s can be avoided. 

Kasey has kindly offered to run the show next week (as I'll be at my brothers wedding) and has requested Bazz's Bash Part Deux. I'll see you on Easter weekend, where we will ride down to the brewery to meet up with Gus's ride down to Henley Beach to celebrate Adelaide Cyclists 3rd Birthday. 

Until then, may the wind be at your back :-)

Craig, Sergi and Daryl... you boy's might have to start introducing 'town boundary' sprints! :-)

Roger, always smiling!

The advantage of being in the foothills, the views are pretty good!

Thumbs up!
