SA RTE Ideas for 2018

[alans1100]

It's time for SA members to wake up or get their brains into gear and start getting ideas for 2018 RTEs

Ideally one or two overnight suggestions and six to eight day RTEs would be welcome.

Middleton Tavern
Finnis General Store Cafe   http://www.finnissgeneralstore.com.au/
Marion Bay (overnight) for the famous wood oven pizza   http://www.marionbaytavern.com.au/
Royal Hotel Balaklava (the meal when we went before was fantastic)   http://www.royalhotelbalaklava.websyte.com.au/
Coorong Cafe at Sugars Beach on Hindmarsh Island.   https://www.facebook.com/coorongcafe/    I would suggest this for a summer evening ride for Fish and Chips.

I don't know much about the first two but I do like the other two.   Marion Bay overnight was something I had already considered so I hope it falls on a weekend I can get away.

I  thought so but didn't want to point fingers.

I'll update the list later to add ;-

Melrose http://www.northstarhotel.com.au/ - We've done before
Clare Bakery  https://www.facebook.com/clarerisebakery1895 - we had lunch there when we collected the new screen off of Richo.

Opinions expressed at Burra Gorge suggest that more RTEs like this should occur and this location can be either a day ride or an overnighter.
Winkler Park just South of Saddleworth could also be another option for a BYO picnic type RTE see our report here http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=7764.msg89331#msg89331

   Marion Bay overnight was something I had already considered so I hope it falls on a weekend I can get away.

Dates are flexible until the ride is listed in the calendar. Suggest a date that suits you (goes for anyone else as well) and see what happens.

About dates; I prefer to post RTEs that don't conflict with other states dates which opens up other options. I also try and keep 4 to 6 weeks either side of the national rally RTE free.

Anyone can post an upcoming ride that they're doing during the year and open it up to the club; just ask if you need help.

My roster is hard to predict at the best of times, but given that Adelaide Metro like to tinker with timetables every Australia Day run changes means shift changes which in turn means it is less likely for forecast a roster.  At Brisbane Transport we could get our new diary for the following year and fill out the whole year's work and calculate if you had to swap christmas day the following year if you didn't want to work it.

Gladstone gaol, provided it's not in the depths of winter. It's a hoot - you get your own cell and great cooking facilities for breaky (I recommend dinner at the pub, a short walk from the gaol and pretty good value, but if the consensus was snags and salad at the gaol, i'd be in that as well). To make a great weekend even better we could call into the Stone Hut bakery. They make the best pies in the universe - it says so on their wall (and it's true!!!)

Count me in on that one. Same proviso - not the depths of winter. And we could do some ghost hunting

 . For those who are self sufficient ,perhaps we could have a overnight camping trip and pool the dinner and breakfast between us.Narrung camping ground next to the ferry is a good spot and its free!

Bit of a trek for me,  but I've stayed there and is a great site. Free camp with toilet facilities and right next to the ferry,  not much in Narrung itself but not far too Meningie which has lots of eating places.
