Both days include a diversity of ride experiences for children, families, wine tasters, art and history lovers and serious riders at very reasonable prices. 

The first day, Saturday 14 November, consists of three scenic winery rides of 7kms, 10 kms and 50 kms, starting and finishing at The Institute at Langhorne Creek followed by refreshments and quality local jazz.

The second day, Sunday 15 November, kicks off at the Strathalbyn Memorial Park, exploring the beautiful Angas River, waving goodbye to the Steam Ranger or exploring the art and history of Strathalbyn. Then its back by lunchtime to see the famous Strathalbyn  Duck Races, market stalls, great music, and a taste of the region.   The longer ride takes in the breathtaking scenery of Macclesfield, Meadows and Ashbourne and over the ranges and back to Strathalbyn.

Both days will feature stimulating physical activities courtesy of be active and Life With Gusto, Go for 2 & 5 nutritious food workshops, and Evelyn Roth’s amazing Eco Maze.  If you stay overnight there’s a traditional bush dance being held at the Milang Institute with the Rocky River Bush Band.

Ride the Angas is being coordinated by The Life With Gusto Project, facilitated through the Milang Old School House Community Centre, in partnership with Strathalbyn Bicycle Users Group, be active, Alexandrina Council, Strathalbyn Rotary, the Langhorne Creek Winery Association and the communities of Langhorne Creek, Milang, Clayton Bay and Strathalbyn.

The Life With Gusto Project, supported by the Australian Government Department of Health & Ageing, is setting up community gardens at Strathalbyn, Milang and Clayton Bay, as a major part of its promotion of nutritious eating and physical activity in the Strathalbyn districts.

Local residents and organisations of Strathalbyn have expressed an interest in the vacant lot behind Myranth House in High St, the R-6 Eastern Fleurieu Campus garden and even a proposal to locate vegetable gardens in private backyards.  Further interest was expressed at a recent meeting of the Strathalbyn Garden Club, with special guest, Tess Minnett  of Duck Flat Community Garden.

Karen Barrett of Goolwa is the new Life With Gusto Community Gardens Coordinator, appointed  to work with local communities to set up gardens at Milang, Clayton Bay and Strathalbyn. She is currently completing her certificate in Youth Work, has a background in youth projects and programs and is an active and original member of the Cittaslow Goolwa Community Garden.

Already the communities of Clayton Bay and Milang have held public meetings and voted to revitalise the garden at Milang Campus, and establish a community garden at Clayton Bay Community Hall.

“There is no better way to bring people together than by growing nutritious fruit and vegetables,” said Karen Barrett.  “Community gardens are great for healthy exercise, getting to know people, sharing knowledge & resources and turning ordinary places into extraordinary ones”, she said.

The community gardens and their supporters are looking for local volunteers who are motivated and enthusiastic and wish to develop skills in horticulture, organic or permaculture gardening.  Also, volunteers will be given opportunities to grow their own fresh produce, to make good friends, take part in interesting, learning activities, and even work towards qualifications in Active Volunteering.
