VVMCCSA future events.
ANGASTON AMBLE : 10am 17th October ‘21
There will be 2 starting points for this ride. Meet at 9.30 for a 10.00am start in the main Street (Black Top Road) One Tree Hill, opposite the Throttle Shed Café. Arrive earlier if you want a cuppa or snack before you leave.
These riders will go along the Humbug Scrub Road to Williamstown. Humbug Scrub Road goes around the Para Wirra Park and varies from gentle sweeping curves to some tight corners and a steep descent and climb.
Veteran, vintage, lower powered bikes and those that want to miss the climb and corners can meet at the public car park alongside the Hotel in the Main Street. Suggest you park any trailers in George Street opposite the car park, but please don’t block any gateways. Arrive in time to be ready to leave by 10.30. The store opposite has coffee and snacks for those in need.
We will then ride through Lyndoch to turn off past the Chateau Yaldara and onto the outskirts of Tanunda. Then bypassing Tanunda, through Bethany and up the scenic edge of the Barossa Valley to arrive at Angaston.
The refreshment stop will be in the main street of Angaston where there are several cafes and bakeries.
After satisfying the inner hunger and thirst we will proceed further up the main street to turn right onto the Eden Valley Road. A detour will then be taken off this road to go down the Flaxman Valley Road to again re-join the Eden Valley Road. Following through Eden Valley, we then turn right at Springton to go back to Williamstown.
After a brief stop, for comfort and to say goodbyes to those that started there, the remainder head back to One Tree Hill via the Hum Bug Scrub Road, to finish back at the Throttle Shed.
The longer ride is about 125 kms, with the shorter being about 85kms. Will be looking for about 6 corner marshals on the day and of course will need someone to tow the Club recovery trailer for the usual $60 fuel reimbursement.
Any questions or volunteers please contact me.
