The Inspiration for Adelaide Bromptoneering
Meet Mayumi-san the person who inspired us to start Adelaide Bromptoneering.
Port Fairy to Warrnambool Rail Trail
The Melbourne Brompton Club held a rail trail ride on the last weekend in August. There were a total of 15 Bromptoneers that took part. There were 3 from Adelaide, 1 from Geelong and 1 from Maryborough. That means 10 came from Melbourne. I arrived a day late after heeding the tornado warning from the BOM over the South Eastern Freeway on the Friday. I joined for the Sunday return ride to Warrnambool.
It was a good opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new Brompton friends. Here are some of my photos.
New Melbourne Route Library
I stayed in Melbourne for the week following the Port Fairy rail trail ride. I prepared and tested 5 new rides in Melbourne. They all follow the Adelaide Bromptoneering formula. That is a loop ride of around 20km (although there is one longer non loop ride) exploring the suburban backstreets, starting and finishing at a brewery with a coffee stop along the way.
This builds on the 4 pastry tour routes that I mapped out and tested last year. So when you visit Melbourne with your Brompton, the Adelaide Bromptoneering site has a library of 9 super fun rides. They all include Strava/GPX routes, commentary and photos. If you have any questions leave a comment on the relevant route page.
To make life easier, I have created a new page that brings together the Melbourne Route Library I’ve include some photos to whet your appetie.
October Social Ride
The next ride is an adventure ride around Mount Barker. There are more hills compared to the normal Adelaide Bromptoneering Social Ride. If you’d like to give it a go – don’t worry – please do. We will have a tail-end Charlie to ensure that no one is left behind.
