We've had wind, wind and rain.
I look forward to the snow...

Hmmm, heads down to Milang and along the lake (?).

Brings back memories from this years TdU Mutual Community Stage :shock:

with all the great riding in the Adelaide Hills it beggars belief that both the TDU and BikeSA keep sending innocent cyclists anywhere near Milang...its never a nice place to ride a bike. Even on a warm, sunny, windless day it will kill you with boredom.

Was thinking about doing it with some mates, but having 2nd thoughts now due to the route.

OOOhhhhhh...... only 1 week to go folks, hope you have been training for this one! The windy conditions around adelaide recently have been perfect practice for what we can expect around Milang yes?

Unfortunately Me and my friend missed the 2nd left in Milang and continued on through Langhorne Creek without thinking "Geez, where is everyone!"

It added another 17kms to the first lap, so by the time we got back to Strath. we decided to call it a day! Wonderful day for riding tho! Will have to study the map a bit better b4 next time!
