I went for a ride with the Cycling for Pleasure Group today.

17 riders departed Victoria Square at the very civilized time of 10 AM

there was a verity of bikes on the ride a tandem and a bikes of many different wheel sizes

It seems the Adelaide cyclists jerseys are everywhere.

Past this strange building with no windows

Morning tea was at a park

During the ride it was asked if a bike Friday is ok to be ridden on other days of the week?

It also came up in conversation is having a heavy battery on your bike a handicap?

We wandered up the dry creek linear park and eventually found our way to the park opposite tea tree plaza for lunch

A few of the rises were a bit steep and gravelly

but most were flat

After lunch we joined a bike path near the Hope Valley reservoir

and found our way back to town via the Torren's Linear Park

Certainty it was an interested ride with a friendly group of people.

And there were places I didn't even know existed.

I did just over 60 Km for the day in about four and a half hours so it was a gentle pace.

I would think these rides would suit enthusiastic beginners who don't have a road bike.

The details are on strava
