28 March 2020 Ride Suspension

The weather tomorrow is forecast to be perfect for a ride. I have however suspended our Saturday’s ride until further notice due to the ever changing Covid19 environment we are experiencing. We are required to reduce our movements by staying at home for the time being to avoid being infected and for our community’s protection or worst still passing on to others. We also need to be seen to be doing the right thing too.

Please understand this does not preclude you riding individually or if you wish ride in small groups riding at a reasonable distance between riders.  Keep social distancing in mind when having our usual after ride coffee.

Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month so if you wish to ride tomorrow as usual then the venue will be Yarragon departing at 8am. Please ride safely.

I will not be riding tomorrow – being grounded by my better half – need to keep my Brownie points intact!

Saturday will be mostly sunny with areas of fog in the east in the early morning. Light winds becoming northwest to northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h in the morning then becoming light in the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 9 and 14 with daytime temperatures reaching 22 to 28. Perfect!

21 March 2020 Ride

Cool but dry weather tomorrow morning for our ride as forecast. Yes, it autumn so it will be  cooler in the morning and will soon be freezing in a  months or two time.

We will at 8am start from Darnum and ride our alternative course as a 4km stretch of Yarragon Shady Creek Road is still unsealed. Council advises sealing works is scheduled for 25 March and will last a could of days – weather permitting.

By the way, many of you have support Ian for his Lions Ride for Sight which was to start on 1 April 2020. This Ride has been cancelled due to the COVID19 pandemic. It is necessary for Ian as a Ride for Sight rider to contact those who have sponsored him to either return sponsorship money or to ascertain sponsors wishing to contribute their sponsorship to the Lions Ride for Sight fund raising for sight research.

Breezy and cold but it is forecast to be dry tomorrow so rug up for a  pleasant ride. I’m advised Yarragon Shady Creek is scheduled to be sealed between 25 to 28 March weather permitting.
