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.
