Hell of The South

G'day
I have it on good authority that the deviation of the Beaudesert-Boonah Rd at Wyaralong is finished and open. I'm planning to do this ride between Next Monday and the Monday after inclusive.
In the past it has gone down Middle and Teviot Rds in to Kilmoylar Rd and down to Bromelton House Rd via Allen Creek Rd, coming on to the Beaudesert-Boonah Rd at Bromelton. This includes about 5km of dirt, which is in keeping with the hellish theme of the ride, even though it is absolutely rideable.
Recent expeditions show me that the amount of shoulderless road on the Mt Lindsay Hwy is very small and possibly worth riding, making the ride to go via Beaudesert.
Regardless of it going inland to Bromelton or down the Hway to Beaudesert, the ride is simply a loop to Coulson, Peak Crossing and Ipswich returning to Brisbane via the popular route used by Audax Qld and commuters. Past the TAFE, Dinmore, Collingwood Park, Wacol Station Rd, 17 Mile Rocks, Oxley Rd etc.
I have one other almost certain starter, but would be happy to have anyone else along. The pace will not be overly hot. Maybe a little over 25kph. The three times I have done this before have ranged from 25-27kph average speed, which depends on wind direction.
The ride will depart from Coorparoo and head down Ipswich and in to Beaudesert Rd at Moorooka. There is plenty of parking here.
Please feel free to post up a prefered day, any other thoughts or any questions.
Cheers.
