Definitely going solo and riding the ST (so I can throw in wet weather gear etc). I reckon I'll go via Coro (Acklands Hill Rd), Clarendon, Meadows, Strath, Langhorne Creek, Wellington to Meningie. A bit more interesting than the freeway. Safe riding folks.

Home safe after riding through VERY strong crosswinds and rain, some of the worst I've ever tackled.  In places we had trouble keeping the bike in one lane and were worried we'd be blown off the road.   Happy to be home.

Definitely not good conditions for riding, was very blowy doing the circuit through Narrung. Further inland was better once on the freeway.

But good to meet up with everyone, including two new attendees, John Barrett & Dale, who JD & Vera managed to find on the ride over.

Me too.  The worst was just before Bremer Valley.  I had a bit of hail in that area too but it was the wind that worried me the most.  The way to Meningie was rain/cloud/sunshine on an endless cycle but the only real wind issues was between Coonalpyn and Meningie.  I'll write a ride report later.  Hopefully tomorrow's City to Bay isn't as bad.

Thanks for your company today.   I think I worked off all of the calories fighting the wind and rain on the way home.   As I got to regency road I had hail as well.   Glad we have all season bikes.

 :thumbs.  It was a good ride and it was good to see a great turnout regardless of the weather,
         (Mad dogs and English men ). Narung was pretty blowey but definitely worth the extra kilometres.
 Involuntary  lane changes aren't a good thing though!!!

Got home just after 7pm - not as bad wind wise between Meningie and Tailem Bend - only rain shower I had was in Murray Bridge but as usual after Burra the cold sets in once the sun goes behind the hills; 5C on the bike as I got into Peterborough.

It was 3°C between Birdwood at Tungkillo.  Even with the grip warmers on the fingers were frozen.

Not much more I can add as far as to and from as it was to cold and windy to get off the bike for anything more than a rest stop or two along the way.

One of the better attended SA RTEs -Thanking all for attending.

I have caught up with your post.  Sorry for not being able to join you at Strath.  Would have been a lot better than when I went through it yesterday.
