As I type this the weather looks miserable for next Wednesday’s Midweek Run, sort of fitting really for a Winter Solstice run through the hills. There’s not mystery about the run; I’m no Russell and I can’t keep a straight face so the run sheet is attached.

Given the weather, Spridgets are not required, but if you are keen to drive yours, don’t let the weather stop you. I won’t be as mine hasn’t recovered from the last Midweek Run yet!

Like all Sprite Club runs, if you are not a member of the club, that’s ok. You are most welcome to join in and have lunch with us. Please let me know that’s all so I’ve got the right head count for the cars!

Departure Point: Ridge Park Carpark, Barr Smith Ave, Myrtle Bank

Departure Time: 1030

Stop 1 – The Big Rocking Horse

Route will be via Eagle on the Hill, Mount Lofty Summit Road, Ridge Road, Marble Hill Road, Corkscrew Road and Gorge Road, then on to Gumeracha for a stop and regroup.

ETA Gumeracha – 1130. Total distance – 52km

If you get separated on the run up we will wait until we all get there!

Estimated time of departure – 1200 or once we have all arrived!

Stop 2 – Emma and Ivy, Main Street, Lobethal

Route will be out via Birdwood to Mount Pleasant, then towards Tungkillo, then Mount Torrens and into Lobethal

ETA Lobethal – 1245. Distance – 44km

Lunch is proposed for Emma and Ivy’s. They have a great menu, great coffee and warm hot chocolates to boot!

I’d really appreciate an RSVP on numbers so I can book.

If you can’t make the run but would like to meet for lunch, that’s ok too! Just let us know for numbers.

For the technically minded, the run map can be found here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/N9Wr1ELi4Qkzh7ZK7

This means you can open it up in Google Maps and just follow the computer voice if you don’t trust the car in front!!

I’ve picked this run as I hope some of our members who live along the way can pop out and say hello and perhaps join as at one of the Stops for a natter or for lunch!
