SA RTE Ideas for 2018

[Bodø Glimt]

I went to the Finniss General Store Café today.  It was pretty good.  It is up for sale so could change hands in the meantime.

[alans1100]

Thanks for the ones I've listed the so far.

Please nominate the places you'd like to attend so I can at least get the most popular listed. Also thinking if Robe could be a SA/Vic meet up as it was last year.

Just gone through next year's calendar and with avoiding school and public holiday weekends I came up with the following. I left June clear as it's usually cold and wet and Jan has school holidays.

I'm looking at posting the first three rides in about a week's time as I won't have much free time after that in the next few months with the grain harvest due to start.

[alans1100]

Will add an optional ride in for May.

May 5th Glendambo - FarRider ride listed in their calendar.

Loos good thanks Alan.

[Shillas]

Maybe throw in a RTE for those not doing Border Ride or getting to Nat Rally?

Looking at your suggestion and through the list of RTE suggestions I'm wondering if Gladstone gaol would be a goer for a lunch RTE or overnighter on the rally weekend

Two quick ideas. Mannum.  Or the long shot the new racing development out tailembend way

Looking for somewhere different but close enough to the city (not forgetting us out in the bush) - Tailem Bend fits that - wonder what info I can find about it?

[StinkyPete]

Some ideas for RTE's close to Adelaide are the Pomegranate Cafe at Birdwood,  the Strathalbyn Corner Bakery,  the Meadows Bakery, or the Greenman Inn at Ashbourne.  All have good food and are and easy ride from Adelaide.

[richo]

All very good choices.   

[Bodø Glimt]

Do you still do the midweek coffee runs to the Pomegranate Café?

[StinkyPete]

Do you still do the midweek coffee runs to the Pomegranate Café?

It's still listed as a scheduled ride, but there seems to be little interest and I've not had anyone express interest for some time.  I still think it's worth leaving it as a regular event, for anyone looking for a mid-week run.

[alans1100]

"Pomegranate Cafe at Birdwood" thanks Pete and near the museum for anyone wishing to have a look.

Richo suggested Tailem Bend which I had a look at and all I could find was the April Race which I put up on Facebook and here. We might go to after I mentioned it to Heather this morning.
