THE HILLS ARE ALIVE
To say I’ve been riding the Adelaide Hills for more than 40 years is only a tiny exaggeration. But truly, back in the ‘70s, when my petrolhead Uncle Ken became the exclusive agent for Deltek mini bikes, all the kids got one (of course) and we raced them at Mylor (Silver Lake) and Lonsdale, as well as on the many fire trails through the hills.
That may all be part of history now, but those memories remain strong and the Adelaide Hills and surrounds continue to present a multitude of rewarding riding opportunities.
Just to complete the nostalgic scenario, I called up my cousin Jason (who was then the youngest member of the Mainstyle Deltek Racing Team) to join me on an exploration of the Fleurieu Peninsula aboard an entirely different bike.
