Ride Contact Details: David Burnett, Phone 0419 690 188 E-mail: davidb@abs-pl.com.au

About the Ride: This started out as my personal training ride for a quick sprint from Bridgewater to Mount Lofty and back after work. Over time, a few local cycling mates have joined me, and it has become a regular ride for a few of us now.
The route starts climbing immediately from the Bridgewater CFS through pleasant rural surroundings, past Mt George, on through the Hills villages of Uraidla and Summertown, then on to Mt Lofty Summit. There we enjoy the view for a few minutes before heading down the other side, returning through the back of Crafers and Aldgate. The pace depends on the night, and who we have with us, but no one gets left behind. During Summertime especially, the possibility exists for those who want to go further, to extend the ride back by another 10 – 30km or so.

Additional Notes: The core ride usually varies between 1:00 and 1:20, depending on who is riding. ‘Be seen’ lighting is required during Daylight Saving Time, and ‘See’ lighting is strongly recommended during the rest of the year – going downhill fast in the dark is not the time to realise your lighting does not show you the road ahead.
We are a friendly bunch of supportive cyclists, and welcome other guys & gals looking for a quick weeknight ride with some mates, to help improve / maintain fitness.
