Speed - as slow as the last rider - any hills roll down and pick up the last rider (etiqette)
The time is only subject to getting a good spot for the last stage

I'm keen at this stage.
Do you want flat or hills?
Flat is easy, down to Glenelg then turn right, ride till your bored then turn back.
Hills, well there are a lot of options

A good route would be up the freeway bike track, through Stirling and Aldgate to Aldgate Valley Rd, down there to Mylor, turn right to Echunga. At Echunga turn left to Hahndorf - coffee stop. Head to Balhannah and up Greenhill Rd back to the city.
You take in some of our nicest hills roads, see some towns and have that great decent down Greenhill into the city. Ride will take about 3 - 3 1/2 hrs from the CBD return.
Hope this helps.

We would be keen for either hills or flat, we are riding the hills Thursday when we fly in and probablly do a few different routes throughout five days.
I dont mind if we just spin along and get a coffee somewhere or attack each other on the climbs

Max 3 hr ride.....does that include coffeee? Shouldn't it then be 4hrs?

I'm happy with any of them, happy to be an Indian.
Only thing I would add is perhaps those interested in actually doing the ride should elect a chief and leave it up to them to choose which route from all the good suggestions.

The first 500m of cement hill is a bit dangerous IMHO, unless u have good climbing legs. It's not steep, but there's no shoulder, cars pass with a couple of feet, and there is quite alot of splattered cement on the bitumen from the cement trucks... Best to avoide and take in the scenic route and climbs along the cove road instead...

Either that or along Seacombe up Davenport and cut across to Cement Hill. You come out next to the golf course, then there is plenty of shoulder for 2 abreast.
