No comment on Nude beaches, gory murders or crimes... the night riding is good tho, the roads get pretty empty at night

Is there any chance of cold or wet over there in the next seven days? I am contemplating if I need to take a parka or pancho.

not likely, best we can offer is some cloud on some days: forecast afternoon breezes from Wednesday will be like your 'Doctor'ColinOldnCranky wrote:Is there any chance of cold or wet over there in the next seven days? I am contemplating if I need to take a parka or pancho.

So it'll be just like home. All I need to complete the illusion is to find some drinkable water.Clydesdale Scot wrote:not likely, best we can offer is some cloud on some days: forecast afternoon breezes from Wednesday will be like your 'Doctor'ColinOldnCranky wrote:Is there any chance of cold or wet over there in the next seven days?

Oh well, I don't intend drinking much water anyway.

water refill points with our best tap water, now 'improved' with the desalination plant output, then enjoy the after ride refreshments.ColinOldnCranky wrote: All I need to complete the illusion is to find some drinkable water

Still, I had a good ride along the beachfront north of Henley Beach. around West Lakes. the Island, past AAMI stadium, back top there coast and back to home base. Worth done detours and exploring here and there I managers a little over 20 km.
Tomorrow if it can be worked into everyones schedule I may try a run down to Glenelg, Its my brothers 60th so I will need to work off some good cheer before hand.

But that is unfair as if it was not for the standard they set close to the CBD then I would not even have even thought about it. So not a fault, more a "wouldn't it be nice if...
Yep - great ride. A gem.

I would have liked to have also done a day or two exploring around Adelaide - CBD, parks surrounding it, waterways and North Adelaide. Perhaps next time.
Overall it was worth the trouble of packing it all up and extra processing at the airports.
