G'day

I will also be in Mooloolaba for the first half of December. I have done this for the last five years and taken my bike each time. Rides leave from the waterfront at Mooloolaba every morning of the week and vary in distance. One goes to Noosa and one to the mountains, but the majority of them go to Golden Beach and then stop for coffee at Caloundra on the way back.

Apparently the return journey on all of them is a flog fest. I don't stop as I need to get back without holding up the family's holiday. There's usually others in the same boat. I can't remember if they kick off at 6am or 6.30am. Try 6am on the first day and be prepared for a dash to Moorochydore and back if noone's there. I know that a group of triathletes leave Alex Surf Club very early some days, but don't know the details. There is bound to be a bike shop you can ask.

I have a red Cinelli Unica / Zondas. Say g'day. If I don't see you, have a good holiday and definately do not leave the bike at home. This is not neccessary.

Cheers.

Spin City Cycles, Brisbane RD, Mooloolaba if you need a bicycle shop

Myself, I just ride around when I feel like it, never been a group person. Nice run from Mooloolaba to the Airport and back though.

Was just up there (staying in Golden Beach). Went for a group ride with some folks from "Get Biking" at Caloundra (which some refer to as "Spin City Cycles Caloundra"). We did a loop from Caloundra up to Mooloolaba, via Sippy Downs. I started with the "slow" group and left them for dead, then the "fast" group whizzed by and told me to jump on the back, so when I caught them after 6km of flat out pedalling (I was doing 45-50km/h trying to catch them!), I was easily able to stay with the bunch. From Mooloolaba we headed back to Caloundra by initially going down Nicklin Way, then heading down Pt Cartwright Drive and right onto Oceanic Dr, which is almost dead straight for what seems an eternity. We had a 10 cyclist pace line running at 50km/h down this nice suburban street....it was unreal!

I also did Golden Beach to Noosa and back on my own. That was a nice ride, except for the Toyota 4WD Driving Mooloolaba Bogans on the way back (Aerodrome Rd). Spoiled an otherwise perfect ride.

Wouldn't have a plate on the bogans would you?

I saw the news article where they launched the new hotline, but it was after my little encounter, and the hotline is not open yet. I have decided that in 2011 I am going to get a Camera for the bike because I am sick of these morons, and it helps that I have just my word against theirs.
The two lowlifes that went past me were stereotypical bogans to the letter. Big 4WD with oversized tyres, occupants had bogan drawl accent, were wearing singlets and covered in tatts. The only thing missing was a personalised licence plate with some stupid word on it (which make it super easy to remember!)
