SABERS - Dave's Desperate Dash
Saturday 02 August 2014, 09:00
by David Burne

OK, it's Dave's last chance to get a ride in before he hits another milestone - his 60's.........

So we will meet at 9am for a 9.30am start, at Civic Park at Modbury (opposite TTP).

Depending on conditions we will either go via some winding roads to Gawler (or a more direct route if it's a bit damp), and from there to Tarlee for a rest stop via Mallala, Owen, Hamley Bridge and Stockport.  There are some much-undervalued sections on this part of the run, with very pleasant hill and dale running that will give both the cruiser and sport bike riders something to savour.

From Tarlee we head via some delightful sweeping sections to Kapunda and then we skirt Nuriootpa to stop at Tanunda for lunch.  Good pub meals available, and plenty of shops to browse in the main drag.

After lunch we head back via either Kersbrook or Gumeracha, depending on time and conditions, with the ride ending at the award winning Cafe Buongiorno in the Tea Tree Plaza precinct for a coffee and a cake.

Of course, please start with a full tank.  There will be opportunities to fuel up at Kapunda or Tanunda, depending on which route we take.
