Three of us didn't attempt the…"

Replacing the chain means you have to replace the rear cluster as well apparently my bike does not take a per-built cluster, but takes six individual sprockets.

Hey Scott,
I have a set of pedals with toe clips attached that I will bring along next week (meant to today, but forgot until I saw u this morning) You are most welcome to give them a go. I think that you would find them extremely helpful, especially on the Bupa ride with those hills :)

places like Adams Road, Craigmore where the pedestrian crossings by the schools protrude through the parking lane almost to the solid line on the right side of the bike lane.
Scott, can you provide clear photos of this? I am prepared to discuss with the pertinent authority. Persuaded DPTI to remove the concrete obstructions on Fitzroy Terrace. Doubt that I could persuade the local council to do the same for the main street in Gawler that were deliberately added later. Heather, Coordinator of Adelaide BUG

Hi Scott,
To answer your question, I have not joined GW as I would be unable to keep up. I have long term health prob that limits energy. Join in the occasional slow AC ride along linear park. Otherwise I utility cycle by myself most days. Or sit at the computer doing cycling advocacy.
Scott, do you want to join my 4 AC groups and get the free monthly BUG News?
Cheers, Heather

I have not cycled in large fast AC groups like from Henley to Outer Harbour. It is an art which one would first learn in small slower groups. I have 'cycled' The Grampians when rough camping in the National Forest -- combination of cycling and wheeling my bike. Still enjoyed the scenery, wildlife and birds. Whenever I stopped, would laugh about looking at the tiny orchids. Enjoy your cycling!

I have cycled to Waterfall Gully kiosk in a group but not tried Greenhill Road, Norton Summit or any of those eastern hills. Forecast is wet on the weekend so enjoy a break. When warmer and longer days of spring arrive, you will be inspired to improve your stamina.

Scott, you write that you had not ridden for years. First concentrate on cycling on the flat to build your abilities, before tackling hills that beat you now.
