About the Ride: This is a ride for the many Adelaide Hills cyclists who are looking for a decent Saturday morning ride without having to go down into the city to find a group.

It is a varied ride traveling through the picturesque Adeliade Hills with numerous ascents and long undulating routes to choose from depending on the weather and the mood. Generally lasts for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours depending on where we go. We do at times drop down into the city or to the coast for a bit of variety, the difference being that we start and finish in the Hills.

Additional Notes: As this is at the moment, a small group, we suggest calling or texting so that we know who is coming. We have a text group that you can be added to for ride route information.

About the Ride:
There are two or three groups of different speeds. We decide on routes and regroup points on the night, all aiming to finish about 9pm. Usually hilly unless the weather interferes.

Additional Notes:
The fast group is A-C grade standard, and is smaller than the slow group.

About the Ride:
The ride travels from North Adelaide to Outer Harbor via Grange and then Military Road. There is a sprint just before the Outer Harbor roundabout. Usually the bunch takes a breather here for a couple of minutes but then the pace is back on. It returns back down Port Road to the city and there is a sprint at the bridge opposite Clipsal on return. Average speed is around 40-45kph and usually the group consists of A & B grade riders.

About the Ride: We are a group of VERY casual cyclists, aged between 40-50ish. Most of us only ride once a week. As we live in central Tour Down Under country we are trying to get fit enough to ride the Challenge Tour. As of August 09 we are doing 60 km per ride with an average speed 20-22kph We have a dozen or more cyclists but only 4-6 turn up on any given ride and never the same ones. The Adelaide Hills live up to their name. Nowhere we ride is flat but we wait at hill tops and intersections so we don’t lose anyone. Bring a banana etc and some money in case we stop mid ride for a coffee.
We usually have one back at the Blumberg when we get back to Birdwood as well. When the weather warms up we will make our start time earlier. Email me to be put on the weekly email list.

Additional Notes: We are definitely not serious cyclists so if you are looking for a fast and furious ride we are not for you.
