One day it's freezing at Mt Lofty (today) and a few days later it's going to be 33 degrees for Amy's Ride. Keeps us on our toes (even if they are freezing)

Amy's Ride this Sunday

It's not to late to sign-up to ride with 3000 other cyclists on the Southern Freeway. It's a challenge, it's great day out on the bike and it supports the Amy Gillet Foundation's mission for safer cycling and memory of Amy Gillet.

Have a go and meet up with some other Adelaide Cyclists members -- some even wearing their new AC kit.

Chat room open this Friday night

One suggestion that came to me recently was to have more live chat on the site. I am not a fan of the chat and think it's great for occasional use like the Tour de France but I thought a live chat before events like Amy's Ride might be a good way to share tips, organise meet-ups and generally prepare and build the anticipation.

So join us on Thursday night from 8.30pm - 11 the chat will be on the home page. You can jump in or ignore it.
