Dahondude said… Lets meet at the corner of West Terrace and Glover Avenue (which becomes Henley Beach Rd) - right by Adelaide High School. In the South west corner of the intersection (ie western side of West Terrace, southern side of Glover Ave). I'll be coming up West Terrace and you (presumably) will be coming along Currie St from the city.
I'll be on my road bike - a yellow and black Trek (not the bike I was riding the other morning)

Hi James
Nice to meet you this morning. I'll be heading out on a beach ride on Thursday morning so could swing past your hotel and we could head out along Henley Beach Rd, then north to Semaphore then back to Glenelg and up Anzac Hwy. I'd be coming through town around 550am. Let me know if you are interested
cheers
