Hi Fred,
You might like this AC group that rides along the River Torrens Linear Park. You could take your bike on the car and meet up with them near the city. Perhaps at the car park at the intersection of Adam and Manton Streets, but let them know where you will be. http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/saturday-twilight-riders
You might like this AC group. Think you need to join to see any posts. http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/2012-5kg-weighloss-challenge
And if you start commuting into the city, then of course join my AC group Adelaide BUG.
Cheers, Heather

Hi Fred,
Welcome to Adelaide Cyclists.
As you continue to read this forum, you will notice that some members admit to losing weight, sometimes up to 30kg. One of the many benefits of cycling.
Do you cycle into the City? An invite to join Adelaide BUG (Bicycle User Group).
Adelaide City Council is currently seeking feedback from cyclists. More info at http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/adelaidebug/forum/topics/acc-seeks-input-on-its-integrated-movement-strategy
Cheers, Heather
