Story of my ride

Settle in, this is a long and eclectic commentary about a wonderful cycling route from the centre of Adelaide towards Gorge Road and the Adelaide Hills. There was a plan but it was early in the morning and there were also plenty of distractions.
Ultimately, it was the wealth of signs that captured my attention to become the theme of this #StoryOfMyRide while in South Australia for the TDU.
This is the Story Of My Ride from 18 January 2024, part of my coverage of the Tour Down Under of 2024.

Rob, you are a true treasure, fantastic video and lovely stories; great work.

[@ride-media]

Oh shucks. Thanks mate. - Rob

Love that jersey rob, so colourful ❤️

[@Pureblond23]

It’s a fantastic path to ride with the family. Kids can learn to ride their bikes safely. We tend to park at Paradise and ride into the city have lunch and turn around and ride back.

Nice one Rob! Love that jersey.

Love your glasses! Sutro?

[@ride-media]

They're cool, huh? They are from KOO, and the model name is "Alibi" - with notably shorter arms than many other sunglasses and a great match to the helmet. - Rob

Ive ridden on those paths a thousand times and never noticed those signs, probably because im going 30kph 😂 🤪

[@ginnehm]

Does it become a bike jam in commuting hours? Nope; and the other 10 riders I come across would probably agree its the best way to get to work of a morning

[@toddfield4744]

I think the step sign is to alleviate a law suit

You do realise it’s summer right? Come in winter and there’s a lot more water.

[@ride-media]

Yes. And yes, I understand. (I was just having a bit of fun.) It's a lovely river. And a great place to ride a bike. - Rob
