Gravel Cycling in South Australia
“Two Wells is a town approximately 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of the Adelaide city centre in South Australia adjacent to Port Wakefield Road and passed by the Adelaide-Port Augusta railway line. The first settlers in the area used two aboriginal wells in the area as a freshwater source.” – https://wikipedia.org

The Two Wells
“Originally the wells were natural and permanent waterholes. In the 1880s the wells were deepened and strengthened to facilitate regular use by travelling stock. By 1900 a water pipeline supplied the area, and the wells were neglected. In the 1960s a local youth group rehabilitated the wells and surrounding area, but after a time they were again neglected. In 1979 the area was again rehabilitated, partly fenced, and signed as a reserve. It continues to be maintained by interested locals.”

In this video, JOM and his partner, Lady Gravel Cyclist, enjoy a toasty day riding a route of JOM’s design, starting and ending in Two Wells. This route takes in many of the mixed-surface roads that proliferate the Adelaide Plains area, with nary a lump in the landscape to be found.
