36 just means you need to suncreen up, and TIE!!! take it easy!!!
Chances are it won't make 36 anyway, based on the forcast proceeding.

As for shoes, not really, just get yer dogs off and bask in the knowledge of a job well done while you wait for the cavalry (pickup wagon) to arrive. If I was catching the transit bus back I might reconsider.

Great weather, great fun. No near accidents. Expressway is the clear highlight... It is worth paying the money just for the first 20kms (IMHO). Hope everyone else is happy with how things went. 2 flat tires can't evem dampen the enthusiasm!!

I feel your pain mate - the puncture fairy was cruel to me at the 85 km mark - sheesh I was swearing like a trooper thinking I am on the home stretch towards Maclarenvale and having a blast.......I loved that steep descent down Wickham's hill? - saw a bloke not looking crash hot - sounds like he went too fast around a bend and fell off - anyone know what happened to him?

I did hear someone crash behind me though, I think a lady pulled out off the side of the road and she cut this guy off and down went the guy. All i heard was "oh sorry," from the lady and when i looked back i saw the guy on the ground and he shouted "ah F***," and smashed his bottle on the floor
Wonder when the photos will be up from the ride
How about team BNA next year???

Wickhams Hill Rd was fun but you had to concentrate with some of the dicey road surface in the braking and turning areas, very glad that we didn't have to share it with cars.
It was a surprise to see everything the police guy said at the start completely ignored, re 2 abreast etc. But I also think that all the riders are so amped by the amount of fellow riders that you do just take over the road if you were in a big grouping. If everyone rode two abreast between Old Noarlunga and Port Willunga (where most people were still relatively in the same vicinity) it would be one of the longest snakes of bike riders anywhere and was never going to happen. Too many varying speeds to have some sort of orderly pace line running. After the Willunga drink stop, which broke a lot of the riders up, it seemed like everyone behaved as requested. Gotta love the big P plate Commodores getting irate at being held up then gunning it down the wrong side of the road in a deafening rage to get around (imperiling all involved). There is definitely a relationship between the manner of overtaking and exhaust size....
All in all a fantastic event and a credit to BSA and the Amy Gillett Foundation.
