WARNING - Access road created across Coast to Vines Bike track

temporary access road installed across the bike track. There are no signs on the bike track to warn of this and I do wonder if this could be an accident waiting to happen.…Continue

"Yep, I rode starting at 5:30am. Did not encounter any rain. A freyed gear cable, after reaching the Victory Hotel on Selicks Hill, in the lever stopped me early so I returned home using the chainrings as a two speed. Completed 81.1km in 3 1/2…"
"@Phil I am not sure who organises them but Wilson Davo ran the briefing both times I have been. I think you would both enjoy the ride and find the briefing and organisation very interesting!"
"Very well done Phil. Now to spoil it, we did not have a single drop of rain for the entie ride and the temp only dropped as low as 14C ;-) Sounded good but I would rather people, those who piked out, know they missed a fantastic day for a ride :-)…"
"Thanks Colin. I will remember you when the day comes. I would want to avoid rain and winds above 20kph otherwise I shouuld be ok to make it. I know, its like trying to align the stars at this time of the year ;-)"

SSRC 'L' Ride at Becks Bake House, Port Noarlunga
May 26, 2012 from 7:30am to 10:30am
A social group ride for riders new to the concept and fearing that they are 'too slow' for other group rides.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…See More
"Sorry people, I may not be able to make it as my bike is going into the workshop for repair. I will not ride anyone elses bike so I will just rest until mine is fixed. Not sure yet but it seems like a problem in the shift lever itself. *sigh*"

Riding to Jaspers and back for a Bacon and Egg Roll - A Step towards a 200km ride
For some time now I have been toying with a couple of ideas to make my first 200km bike ride a reality. The first of these is to double up on the ride I made on the 12th March this year, the day after the Gawler Wheelers 1st year anniversary ride where I rode home from Nuriootpa, some 116km. The second option is to ride to a Gawler Wheelers Saturday morning ride, participate and then ride home. I now know its just over 70km, by a short route, to Gawler, 59.1km for the route number 1 ride and…See More

Where do I start?
The last post was for the SSRC 'P' Ride, hopefully the first of many. That was on the 6th May 2012. Since then I have ridden 8 times.

Whats This?
The Adelaide Cyclists group "Southern Suburbs Road Cyclists" have been holding group rides for beginners for some time called "the 'L' Ride" and "The Rag Tag Trailer Ride (for parents and kids)." Well, now they have added a 3rd class of ride, the "P" ride. If you are not aware, the SSRC evolved from the "Muddies" group who once a fortnight do a 50km or so ride that includes a couple of…

Minimal Planning
We had made very few plans for the ride except a brief outline of where we would ride and a starting point and time. Just going on previous rides I had suggested we head down the Coast to Vines to Marino and follow the coast to Glenelg. From there head up Anzac Highway to the city, along West terrace to Port road and then down to Port Adelaide. From Port Adelaide down to Outer Harbour then follow the coast all the way back to Seacliff and back up the Coast to Vines…

Jolie Barton said… - Hi Steve
Okay Thanks, I will keep an eye out for the rag tag ride. I'm still trying to work out how to use this website so I can join the ride but I'm sure I'll find it. It's a bit weird about the message. The website told me i had the comment from Lynn and then you. I'm on holidays for a week and a bit as of next Thurs 10th and planning on doing some rides so maybe an opportunity to have a go and would appreciate going with you, thanks. Can talk more about it later.
Cheers
