Amy's Riding Bar Recipe - get baking for your ride

Wrap a few up and chuck them in your bike jersey pockets and you're set! Amy Schwarz will be riding Amy's Ride SA for the first time this year. Go Amy! 

First of all - I'm on my first Amy's Ride SA as I now feel confident I can ride the whole length after achieving my first 100 km ride at the (Bike SA) Easter Cycle in Kapunda this year!.

Amy's Ride, however, has a few more hills but I feel that it's a good thing to work towards and to achieve. I've had a few rides up that way while heading to McLaren Vale for some wine tasting lately. Anyway, I have to ride it, its my ride after all - 'Amy's Ride' !!
