Typically stunning cloudless 18 - 22 degree days with a cool breeze, and low humidity.
Brilliant.
Mind you, memory can be hazy as one approaches old age. Bring normal summer riding gear, but also bring some stuff in case it gets cool/drizzly.
Good thing is, if it is raining in the hills, the plains/beach is dry and beautiful. So plenty of choice !!!
See ya in may

I'll add that Adelaide has a classic Mediterranean climate, i.e. cold wet winters, hot dry summers. Michael B's link really demonstrates this. But this year in particular the weather really seems to be all over the place! Safe to say it'll be cool though, and be prepared for a bit of rain yeah.

I lived there for 5 years...May is usually cold and wet, especially for us Qld'ers.
Although after saying that I have visited Ade in May and it was fine, dry and fairly mild...go figure!
But it's a lovely place to visit and there's lots of good hill climbs!

We do get a few wet days (last weekend) but overall you get a weather pattern that produces the following conditions;
- cold crisp mornings.
- clear days (hence cold mornings) that have plenty of sunshine and generally low to mid 20's.
- Little to no wind, perhaps a 5-10kph easterly in the morning.
Its close to the best time of the year to ride by far, and combine that with the trees in all their autumn goodness throughout the hills and you cant go wrong.
If you get a chance ride on roads like, Woods Hill Rd, Picadilly Road, Devitation Road, Marble Hill or Adelaide to Lobethal (Extention of Norton Summit)
Have a ball.

And the polite drivers was well, almost confronting! Strange though there don;t seem to be enough muffler repair shops in SA. Every second car had a loud exhaust.
