Though a less accurate measure can be derived with the US and Canadian wind chill index formula.
AT = 13.12+0.6215T - 11.37V^0.16+0.3965T*V^0.16
T= celsius, V= wind kph
So riding your bike in still air at
5C: 30kph +0.05C; 40kph -0.7C
10C: 30kph +6.6C; 40kph +6C

Interesting about a drop of 5.7C when travelling 40kphPawPaw wrote:So riding your bike in still air at
5C: 30kph +0.05C; 40kph -0.7C
10C: 30kph +6.6C; 40kph +6C
Accounting for relative humidity using the BOM furmulae AT = Ta + 0.33e − 0.70ws − 4.00
Ta = 8
e = rh / 100 * 6.105 * 2.718281828 ^ ( 17.27Ta / ( 237.7 + Ta ) )
Assuming rh was about 50% and wind speed 50kph (18.9m/s) on quick decent with still air
AT = -4C

Although there is a long section on the Brisbane Valley Hwy - google maps indicates it's ok - hopefully there aren't too many large trucks?
Are cyclists allowed on the Warrego Hwy?
A better loop maybe - The Gap to Nebo/Glorious
Glorious to Samford (the steep descent)
Samford to Mt Samson to Dayboro
Around the back of Samsonvale dam to wynn rd and go up Clear mountain
Onto Draper, Bunya, Ferny hills back to the Gap.
127km all up with a few hills

I've been eyeing off that one for a while, it'd be pretty brutal though. Would definitely want to do it in a group.Purt wrote: Out to Samford

I've more or less done that, only in reverse, with coot-tha thrown in at the end, and went up the goat track as the road up glorious was closed. A good loop, but it's a bit of a killer!vbplease wrote:A better loop maybe - The Gap to Nebo/Glorious

That might be too much for me in terms of elevation never gone over 4k, was more curious as to the ride past Glorious.Purt wrote:Or even better:

Not sure about the loop back through Ipswich though.. google street view indicates the Warrego Hwy may not be very cycle friendly? Narrow shoulder with lots of trucks?

From what I recall when going to the avanti classic the warrego is probably just as good / bas as Steve Irwin way which I would probably try to avoid.
The loop I drafted / intend to do includes lowood which can be by-passed to shorten the kms as it came up to 203km from my place / round trip I guess regardless of where the start point would be. (link below)
http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/106746409
I will do that loop probably in August or September but needs to find a riding partners (or a few) to make the ride a bit more enjoyable and safer in numbers.
I'll dig out the one mapped to Samford, mount mee and post it later on
