May 11, 2013 from 7:30am to 3pm
Get a big ride done on Sat 11th so you can take the next day (Mothers Day) off from riding, and do something with your Mother!I'm going to take you on a 167 km  route with 2 serious hills thrown in - notably Corkscrew Rd, and Checker Hill Rd (also the Gawler to One Tree Hill Rd).Expect to stop for lunch at Williamstown (after 90km) and get back to the start point (167km) by about 2.30pm.  Will re-group at the top of each hill.See More

"Looking at your route, St Georges Bakehouse being at the end of each loop is a very convenient choice for something quick to refuel you, and their product is good (award winning too). The route looks interesting, just not sure about doing Knotts…"

G Ward commented on Andrew M's event 'Stuart O'Grady Bikeway Ride, WEEK 27: SOBR TUESDAY, 15 May'
"If I do attend, I'd be very unlikely to join at Gawler - more likely southern end, or possibly part way up (Penfield or Womma ?). "

"Yep, I had to create it - there was no existing startup.txt file.  I just put a line of text in to test. I have now tried with the contents you've included above preceeding my line of text but no difference. So it looks like I need to…"
