Born in 1946 I learnt to cycle about 10 years later. On a bike with rods connecting brake levers to the brakes - anyone remember those? I emigrated to Australia (from the UK) in 1974 and moved to Tasmania in 1984. Bicycles were in my life for most of that time although sometimes they were replaced by motorised two wheels for a bit more excitement. On reaching 70 I decided to stick to pedal power but, who knows, an electric bicycle may make an appearance down the track

Marion to the Adelaide Central Markets.

We decided to make the Adelaide Central Markets the end point of the tour. That way we could celebrate with a Singapore Noodles in the Market’s Food Court.

Willunga to the outskirts of Adelaide

That’s right – not at Rundle Mall yet!

Sorry, there is no route map ‘cos I couldn’t make Ride with GPS acknowledge the rail trails yesterday.

From the B37 to Willunga

I cycled past the turn off from the B37 to Willunga twice already so I didn’t need to cycle up out of Goolwa to get here. Rather Sue drove me and Maggie and left me at the junction.

Goolwa to Victor Harbour

Part two of the ride. But first there is a problem! Maggie is chained to the Cabin and I have lost the keys. Crikey.

Milang to Victor Habour

This has now turned into a 2 day ride. My legs felt hollow today whenever a climb was reached – so I stopped at Goolwa.

Wellington to Milang

I rode the Southern Ocean Drive today. The signs are a bit old and weathered but they give you the feeling there is a tourism experience to be had.

Rest Day : Wellington

Early morning ferry. Big truck. Lean to the right.

Not sure what to do from here. I could bash on through the Adelaide hills but against the wind with the gear loaded doesn’t sound much fun. Or I could go to Victor Harbour by Friday and backtrack to Milang to meet with the Adelaide Cullimores and Sue on Saturday.
