I'm a slowpoke too... the speedsters could go under the bridge at Chelmer to do the extra few k's through Graceville/Sherwood and then re-group with any slower riders along the river at Graceville before turning onto King Arthur Tce.

Early arvo say 1pm?
Meeting at some where you can park a car, say Baroona Rd near Epic Cycles?
Go-between Bridge/Indooroopilly Bridge circuit or some other permutation of bridges?
We can stop for a coffee at West End - Gloria Jeans in the shopping centre in the old soft drink factory or maybe there's a spot at Baroona Rd shopping centre?

An afternoon river loop shouldn't be too bad traffic wise.munga wrote:in regard to riverloop, what's the general consensus on sundays? morning or early afternoon?
more cycle traffic/ less car traffic in the mornings?
people busier/like to sleep in in the mornings?
too cold at 7:30am?
And it'd give the obsessives the opportunity to ride with their regular groups in the morning.

I'm good for a Sunday afternoon ride, departing Epic Cycles. And let's find something nicer than GJ for coffee

And why not make the meeting point somewhere central - say Ship Inn Southbank? There's parking near by, its central for those (like me) who are more likely to ride in (from Southside).....

If I were going I would prefer a more central meet point than epic but who's to say. . Keep me posted on proposed coffee point and I might come out in the cage with the kids

That is if old, fat, bald, grumpy and slow dudes are welcome. If it’s a nice day I might even take Pierre.

Yes - but on a weekend afternoon they might be a long shot to get a bunch of coffees done when dealing with the afternoon lunch/beer crowd.notwal wrote:Ship inn's fine with me. Don't care if you prefer to avoid GJs. Does the Ship Inn do a coffee?
West End-Sthbank area has so many good coffee spots to choose from, and plenty other than Garage which is well known to the rolleurs....

Why not ride "between" a northside coffee-shop (eg Blackwood Rd Mitchelton) and a southside coffeeshop (eg Logan Road, Holland Park or Mt Gravatt).Hamster wrote:Do we have a definite date, time and meeting place?
Bu the southsiders can start at the latter and ride an away leg with the northsiders on their return leg
