Thanks Dennis , we are following you all the way, reminds us of our many trips in that area ( in a vehicle though) but those days are over for us.
3 years agoI skipped this bit. My bike wouldn’t like the ruts.
3 years agoCertainly do!
3 years agoCertainly are. They change rapidly from smooth to sandy to rocky to corrugated. You have to keep your wits about you. But it’s a great ride with apparently the best to come.
3 years agoGood going old guys! Bet you love a pub!
3 years agoFantastic pics and description. The road looks a bit gnarled in places?
3 years agoHi Glenys, first day was tough. Probably about 1200 metres. Today was the easiest and best weather with no headwinds finally. About 600 today but much rougher roads.
Thanks for following! Dennis
How many metres vertical?
3 years agoGreat pictures
3 years agoWell said. Makes me sorry for all we’re missing as dedicated roadies.
3 years agoGreat Kupunda Hotel sommelier story. It a big world out there, in so many ways!
Love Barossa wines, and I doubt we’re getting the really good stuff here in the Great White North of Canada. Your trip is adding to the increasing allure of an Aussie tour.
Nothing like red wet conditions to make cycling impossible. Hope the sun shines for you the rest of the time with no strong winds.
3 years agoHi Dennis, if that was a map u tried to load it didn't work. If u r loading a RWGPS map u need to save and keep it on the RWGPS site otherwise the map here doesn't show.
Be good if u logged your GPS trail with RWGPS for daily maps.
Looking forward to following along. Just an alert, in case you didn’t know already: you should be prepared to be evicted from CGOAB soon for the infraction of posting over here. You might want to make plans for migrating your other two journals before you get kicked out.

In my defense of not completing the Pilates session I offer the following;
3 years ago1) it was a rest day
2) I didn’t bring my yoga mat and the floor was hard( Steve will back me up on this)
3)the the room was too small for 3 men to do some of the exercises
4) Dennis said it was a stretch session but in fact it was an exercise class and it was a rest day
5) the chicken schnitzel I foolishly ordered the night before was the size of my front wheel
6) the schnitzel had a kilo of melted cheese, an egg and some bacon on it
7) if I needed more exercise ( over 300km on the bike so far) I could get on my bike
8) because I couldn’t get the zoom to cast onto the big screen ( I tried for 15 min) the laptop screen was too small for me to see the exercises
9) Dennis had the laptop in the wrong location ( his side of the room on the hard floor!!!!)
10) a coffee was needed but I’d wasted 15 minutes trying to cast the zoom to the TV
11) did I mention that it was a rest day?
12) I’m actually really inflexible so I struggle with Pilates anyway
