Whatever I come up with should probably include Mt Mee and some climbs around Peachester. Then maybe up Mons Rd to Buderim on the way back to the coast.
Mt Glorious is pushing a bit too far south to be Sunshine Coast IMO, would be a fair hike to ride down there.

The route I'm talking about - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/185847680" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It says a gain of 3500m but that's not true. Chermside via Mt Nebo/Mt Glorious/Fernvale is only 3k in climbing over ~120km and Wivenhoe-Ipswich is kinda flat too. The Mt Challenge is just hill after hill

What about pushing through Mt Glorious to Mt Nebo and then onto Toowong and train it back north or back into Samford to Ferny Grove and then train to city/train north?ldrcycles wrote:Mt Glorious is pushing a bit too far south to be Sunshine Coast IMO, would be a fair hike to ride down there.

Funny, hey. My commute is 134 I think - this was indeed riverloop. I never claimed to enjoy hills - quite possibly why my target is about a quarter of everyone else'sjasonc wrote:come on - I do over 200m commuting 1 wayDan wrote:You guys. I smashed out 185m just this morning! Not even a typo.

I love doing the Sandgate run via KBB and realising that my driveway was the biggest hill on the whole run...

That's what happens when you're a local celebrity DaccordiDaccordi Rider wrote:7500m odd for the week. Tomorrow is the first ride for the Adelaide chapter of "Strangers I met on the interwebz by signing up to a crazy climbing challenge"!
As it turns out, small world that Adelaide is, Boss and I used to work together once upon a time and I can safely say, we're not the axe murderer type
