Something from Pjotr320's writings
Awesome video of a recumbent race around a velodrome.
Checkout the speeds as they race. Check out the velomobiles and how much faster they go even though they weigh considerably more than the streamlined recumbents.
Bit long but awesome speed.
I wonder how a grenspeed Glyde would go here??

RIP Kathleen Castley
Some terribly sad news that the Peninsula Pedallers has lost one of our great supporters and friends.
Kathleen passed away recently while away on holidays in Tasmania.
Kathleen and Raelene talking at the Cafe.
All of us will miss her greatly.
Especialy those of us that ride or help out with the Tuesday morning ride.
Kathleen until recently has always brought Alex to the Cruisers cafe on Tuesday morning for our after ride coffee.
Since Alex has been living in Cummins Kathleen continued to come and meet us for a coffee and a chat most Tuesdays.

Our thoughts are with Alex and the rest of her family at this sad time.

And while we are on different bike things?
Here is a bike advert from Holland.

Jackie Fristacky’s excellent day on wheels
Here is a great video I have just watched at situpcycle.com made by Mike Rubbo who would have to be the best video producing bike advocate in Australia. His videos are featured on bicycle sites around the world.
Well worth watching to see what local councils with some get up and go can achieve.

Twilight Ride Report
An apology to Josh for forgetting (a) that the ride was on and (b) that it was his ride. Dene did his best to contact people at the last minute, to round up some some riders. I received a call after work about the ride route, so I made a quick plan for an easy terrain but with a distance to make it worthwhile coming.
Josh had a good hilly ride planned, with a slightly less hilly option. Unfortunately, it was too difficult for some, so instead of breaking up a small group of five, we took the easier route.
Don't be disheartened Josh, your plan is a very good one and we will do it.
That said, it was a perfect evening for a ride and we set off for London St. via Porter St. and crossed Kirton Point. (London St. is 'crap' for bikes). We bypassed the marina and left town via Proper Bay Rd., turning around at the old BHP railway x-ing to head back. A little detour up Pine Freezers road to boost the heart rate and right onto Western Approach road for an easy run into town along Mortlock Tce. We finished at Del Giornos for a drink together before heading home.

1st Grand/Mini Slam, Ride Report
We have ten riders who are challenging themselves in the "Slam" series this year, endeavouring to cover distances of between 40kms and 200kms. They are; Nigel Carr, Ross Challinger, John Daniels, Max Dutschke, Trevor Garnaut, Garry Hibble, Dene Lockwood, Mary Lockwood, Raelene Mason and Josh Shepherdson. I'm sure everyone wishes them well both in their training and in reaching their goals.
For the first ride of 40kms/80kms, the start/finish point was the yacht club. It was a pity that the toilets were locked. As one passer by commented, "You don't get much for your rates these days do you?"
The 40km riders went to Sleaford and back. The 80km riders went to the Coomunga railway x-ing, back to the yacht club, then out to Sleaford. On returning to town a 5km loop was added to make up the 80kms. This was a particularly good effort given the extremely blustery conditions. But, to put it in the words of our intrepid Martin S. (albeit a few years ago), "It is character building!"
Thankyou to Kingsley for providing a welcome refreshment break, which made the last 30kms easier to face.
A particular pat on the back to both Garry and Nigel for making the trip down from Tumby Bay so early. Next time, when dragging yourselves out of bed, think of them already on the road.
Bring on the next one! Mary

World tourers
Some of the Pedallers are heading off for some awesome tours.
Peter and Lana Sheridan are heading off to cycle through France and Spain in April and will be away three months. Did a bit of practise on the windy weekend of the 27th &28th of February. Cycle to Coffin Bay took 2 ¼ hours to get there and 3 ½ hours to get back the next day. Jeff has kindly offered to do the newsletter whilst we are away. Thanks!
Raelene is off overseas to cycle with some old chums in May in Germany and France. Have a wonderful time! You can’t keep a good cyclist down!
Clem and Anna are off to warmer climes for the winter. See you in the spring!

Club Rides
Shane a Adelaide Member at the challenge tour at the TDU
As most of you would be aware, we, as a club, try to keep a bit of interest in cycling by holding a "different" ride at least once a month. With the great weather we've been having this could be increased to include twilight or night rides, breakfast rides, or by finishing a ride by having lunch or tea (dinner) together.
The aim is to cater for all abilities and bike preferences. Any suggestions are most welcome. So if you have an idea or a ride plan to share, step up and lead us astray!

Australia Day Ride
Seven rode on this perfect cycling morning to fly the flag for the club on Australia Day. Considering that some were away at the Tour Down Under and the Tunarama Fun Run was on, this was a fair number.
From the hall we turned left and headed to the start of Oxford Tce through to Flinder’s Hwy and right at Happy Valley Rd. We had a pleasant 45 minute workout with a couple of hills, some welcome downhills and a short meander along the newly completed share path through Eyre Park. To avoid another hill the last few kms were modified to get onto Oxford Tce near the clinic. From there we skirted the Catholic Church boundary to Porter Street then to King Street.
The tent was in sight and the smell of bacon & eggs was too much for some... a couple of riders "didn't see" the police cars and the policeman stopping the traffic to let runners through 'safely'!
Breaky was most welcome for the 4 riders who braved the line-up...time flies when you're having fun.
So, if a good ride, meeting people, having a few laughs and someone to cook your breakfast appeals to you, then join us next year for more of the same.
