Ride Guide 2009.Pdf WELCOME TO THE 2009 OUTBACK ODYSSEY! Over 900km along the Mawson Trail from Adelaide to the Flinders Ranges The following itinerary information will help you plan for each day, but there is plenty of additional information in supplementary documents that you’ll find useful: • MY RIDE • MY TRAINING • MY GEAR • MY BIKE • BIKE BEYOND GUIDE So make sure you read through the above well before the start, so you’re fully prepared and can get the most out of the Outback Odyssey. DAILY ITINERARY A typical day begins with a big breakfast, then on your bike until a stop for refreshments, followed by more riding until lunch. On longer days we keep riding through until afternoon refreshments, then on until the campsite is reached. There you can unwind, socialize, explore your surroundings, sip a drink and watch the sunset over dinner. Later, the stars come out and riders share their stories to the early hours or until weary bodies hint it’s time for bed. We hope you enjoy sharing this Outback Odyssey with us. DAY ON E – SATURDAY 2 MAY ADELAIDE TO CUDLEE CREEK START BICYCLE SA OFFICE, 111 FRANKLIN STREET, ADELAIDE • BREAKFAST 7:30AM – 8:45AM • REGISTRATION AND LUGGAGE LOADING 7:30AM – 8:45AM • WELCOME AND BRIEFING 8:45AM • DEPART 9AM REFRESHMENTS 24KM GORGE ROAD LUNCH & FINISH 33KM THOMAS HILL, CUDLEE CREEK Welcome to the start of the 2009 Outback Odyssey! Gather early, so you have plenty of time to register, receive your exclusive Outback Odyssey jersey and load your luggage on to the luggage truck; then share a light breakfast of croissant and coffee before embarking on the first of over 900km to the Flinders Ranges! Bike Beyond, our maintenance team, will be on hand to help with any last minute tweaks for your bike. Note that we can carry your flat-packed bike box or bag in the luggage truck all the way to the finish, so you can box it up for the return coach trip. After the welcome and briefing, at the Bicycle SA office in the heart of Adelaide, you enjoy a picture postcard ride along the banks of the River Torrens, via Linear Park shared use path to Gorge Road and the start of the Adelaide Hills. The ride up Castambul will get your legs working and heart pumping, as you climb over 600m in less thank 10km. The trail rises through Mount Crawford Forest and there are some stiles and gates to negotiate (please leave the gates as found … if it’s closed when you arrive then make sure it’s closed when you leave). Take your time and enjoy the lush Australian bush as well as the spectacular views, both in the valleys and back towards Adelaide and the coastline. Take care on the single and forest tracks as there are some steep downhill sections and rutted fire tracks. Be thoughtful too of other riders who may be faster or slower than you, as it will be very difficult to pass on some sections of the single track. Cudlee Creek is part of the Mount Crawford Forest trail network, and Thomas Hill Study Centre is a Forestry building at the end of the track, with panoramic views over Adelaide to the west. This is our first campsite, and your luggage will be ready for you when you arrive. Set your tent up on the western side, but batten down your hatches, because the winds can be very strong on the exposed hilltop. There are alternative tent spot on the eastern side, just outside the gate. First arrivers have first dibs on the ‘chook shed’, with its guarantee of shelter and fertile soil samples! This first day is intentionally short, giving you the whole afternoon to explore the maze of green, blue and black mountain bike trails around Cudlee Creek. Check out the map and work out where you want to go. You’re free to roam anywhere (almost) you like. Bike Beyond will be running a mountain bike workshop from Thomas Hill, providing some useful tips and techniques, which you’ll find invaluable for the rest of your journey. As you ride into Cudlee Creek you won’t be able to help but notice an awful lot of other mountain bikers around. Not only is Cudlee Creek one of the most popular MTB destinations in the state, it is also the venue for Bicycle SA’s Dirty Weekend NiteFLUX 24-Hour mountain bike challenge, which is running at the same time over this Saturday and Sunday. With a separate Dirty Weekend Village a short distance from Thomas Hill, you’ll see tents, signage and directional arrows following a 10km loop track exclusively open to Dirty Weekend riders. The Dirty Weekend runs for 24 hours, from 2pm Saturday to 2pm Sunday (some of the Dirty Weekend riders will only be riding for 12 or 6 hours). So as you explore any of the other Cudlee Creek trails, keep well clear of the clearly marked Dirty Weekend track. You’re very welcome to wander around the Dirty Weekend Village and check out the action, either around the timing and transition zones, or from the vantage point of Red Bull Hill and the ridge, where most Dirty Weekend riders will be camping. While the Dirty Weekend is an all-night operation, with DJs and full-on action, the music will mellow down from 10pm and be switched off between midnight and 6am (except for the Forest Fairies Disco deep in the forest, far from the campsite). Depending on where you pitch your tent though, you may hear riders huffing and puffing past your campsite during all hours of the night. Spare a thought for these heroic athletes as they grind out lap after lap, continuing on until most of you arrive in Tanunda the following day! This Saturday night we’ll share our first meal as well as plenty of important information to help you make the most of your adventure. Each evening throughout the Odyssey we’ll run through the following day’s route and schedule, provide a weather forecast, and enjoy a few laughs. There’ll be plenty of good food and drinks to be enjoyed from the Handle Bar (please note, however, that alcohol must be kept within the confines of the Thomas Hill boundary fence. The Dirty Weekend event is dry, and all alcohol is banned from the Dirty Weekend Village and campsites). Some of you will hit the hay early, ready for a bigger day in the saddle tomorrow. Others will be lured by the bright lights and atmosphere of the Dirty Weekend. There’s even rumour of some hardy Outback Odyssey riders’ plan to have a crack at the Dirty Weekend, combining this extreme endurance challenge with the 900km Mawson Trail! So maybe your enthusiastic support is called for from the vantage point of the campfire. CHECK OUT … En route • River Torrens • Festival Centre At Cudlee Creek • Cudlee Creek trail network • Dirty Weekend DAY TWO – SUNDAY 3 MAY CUDLEE CREEK TO TANUNDA REFRESHMENTS 26KM LUCKY HIT ROAD / FOREST ENTRY LUNCH 55KM TRIAL HILL FINISH 80KM CHATEAU TANUNDA, TANUNDA Take it easy as you exit Cudlee Creek, as the Dirty Weekend will be in full swing, with teams furiously jostling for position. You’ll exit along the dirt access road, parallel to the Dirty Weekend track. Once out of the main gate, you’re sharing space with other traffic, so again take care. You climb to Gold Mine Range, and then enjoy some (undulating) downhill to Lobethal. The riding becomes gentle in comparison as you reach Birdwood, a romantic and charming town, full of reminders of life in the last century. Beyond Mount Pleasant is a little bitumen before you get back into another tract of Mount Crawford Forest and some fun bits of single track. Out of the forest, the track menders through farming and then into wine country – the Barossa. There are some great rolling hills with lots of good down hill runs, including the track into Rowland Flat. You summit Steingarten Hill and wander through the vineyards, but then you head STRAIGHT DOWN, so take care! You go through a gate into what looks like a vineyard and all of a sudden the track heads down and you can see for miles. At the bottom of the descent is a stop sign at the junction of the busy Barossa Valley Highway, where marshals will remind you to stop. CHATEAU TANUNDA Your finish is a little further on at Chateau Tanunda, just off the main street on Basedow Road. What a place to finish! Chateau Tanunda is a tranquil oasis at the centre of the world famous Barossa Valley. Proprieter JohnGeber is a keen cyclist and the proud custodian of Chateau Tanunda’s impressive range of wine, including The Three Graces, 100 Year Old Shiraz and the premium Old Vine Shiraz and Grenache. The Chateau is on your right as you ride in and you freewheel down past the cellar door to the Cricket Pitch, home to the annual pilgrimage of former cricketing greats for an annual fundraising match. There won’t be any cricket today, because you’re pitching your tents on the oval turf (but avoid the centre square, lovingly tended by the Chateau groundsmen). You can instead play some croquet on the green by the downstairs cellar door, where you can treat yourself to a cheese platter ($20) to accompany complimentary wine-tasting. ‘Croquet Packages’ include a cheese platter, two glasses of wine plus a game of croquet. Espresso coffee and fresh cakes are also available.

The principal production areas are located in the south-east quarter of the Australian continent, in the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Wineries in South Australia's Barossa Valley, in the Hunter River region north of Sydney in New South Wales and in Victoria played a major role in the development of the industry and continue to be important sources of fine wines. In South Australia, wine contributes around 11% of the state's Gross State product, contributing around $2.4 billion to the state's economy. In 2009/10, the Barossa region contributed $85 million {20%) in production value to the state's total wine value. To add further to its 'credentials', the Barossa has recently been acknowledged by an international wine magazine as one of the 5 most recognised wine regions in the world, and this is supported by the busiest Visitor Information Centre in regional South Australia.
