We ride to Mt Lofty via the Old Freeway every Tuesday morning. We meet at the corner of Portrush Rd and Mt Barker Rd (aka the Freeway) next to the big gum tree (NOT at the Tollgates) at 5:50am and aim to be back at the start by 7:00 am.
Location: Old Freeway to Mt Lofty and return

The ride takes place each week all year round. About the only time we won't be riding is if its raining, the rain radar shows rain on Mt Lofty or we are out of town.
Numbers currently vary from 2-6 riders.
Pace is moderate (i.e. will suit riders who can ride from the traffic lights to the bollards in 27-35 minutes).
We regroup at Eagle on the Hill and the Bollards and continue on to Mt Lofty, although some people choose to head home at the Bollards.
Coffee and bakery treats on offer around once a month.
Good lights essential during the winter months.
The group Discussion Forum and Comment wall frequently gets off-topic and we some-times engage in a bit of trash talk. But that's OK cos that's what cycling is all about, right?
Don't be put off by our grandiose ride reports...its amazing how you can turn a pootle up a hill into a major UCI bike race with the right words.

Comment by wujim on April 23, 2013 at 11:35 Next week I'll be keen to belgian up and smash my sissy sprocket, got a big-ish week ahead so not keen on burning any matches today. Apart from jogging up the 'carpark climb' in my socks it was a pretty relaxed morning for me.
Comment by Adam Williss on April 23, 2013 at 11:28 I was telling myself to "Belgian Up, Sissy" quite a bit this morning... Surprised you didn't hear me! Although I was so far back I couldn't say I was even at the rear of the grupetto....
with no DD, SD, yellow booties or "Belgian Up, Sissy" cat-calling from the rear of the grupetto, it was relaxing, non-competitive pootle up to a brisk Lofty Summit.....
Comment by wujim on April 23, 2013 at 11:08 Good cruisy ride this morning guys, and thanks for waiting around while I sorted out that flat.
Will see how we go, couple of back to back 12hr days at work along with LBL last night has energy levels pretty low...

Comment by snappy_don on April 16, 2013 at 17:40 Hah. The constant factor between now and 2011 is I'm still at the back havin a chat.
And while ET's form has gone the way of Andy Schleck's mojo, at least he wasn't a DNF.
