Figured out on the weekend how to get the other half to come on weekend rides with me!
Simply park a car at the destination the day before (at a place where there be good reward for effort!)... Come up with a nice little rolling downhill ride - in this case Crafers > Bridgewater > Harndorf > Mt B > Maccy > Meadows (note: Greenhills & Retort Hill is NOT the way to impress the more casual type of rider).
End destination - K1 Wines in Kuitpo for a lovely lunch and wine. Total WINNER!
A fun day was had by all, worth a try for for all those partners who aren't as gung-ho as we may be:-)
