Yes but lets face it Sydney in general is pretty over rated from our point of view....so we won't be overly interested in what you "let [us] know". Are you coming up to see the Blues beaten at Lang Park???????ft_critical wrote:So I am bringing my bike up from Sydney in July, to Brisbane. This ride looks pretty overrated compared to what we have down here, but I will let you know what I think after I have done it a couple of times.
Lol...just come and enjoy the beautiful south Qld "winter", and enjoy the riding. Maybe we can all catch up for a ride?

The cheek of him to come into "our Queensland" thread I'm surprised he's allowed to ride his bike up here (reference to previous thread he started cough cough)Pax wrote:Yes but lets face it Sydney in general is pretty over rated from our point of view....so we won't be overly interested in what you "let [us] know".

I presume what you mean here is you are going to do repeats? If you keep going past Mt Glorious, down to Wivenhoe Dam, and then back again I'm sure it will wake you up. Especially if you add in going down to Samford and back up as a side trip. The bit past Glorious is much quieter than the rest, but quite steep once you start dropping down off the mountain.ft_critical wrote:So I am bringing my bike up from Sydney in July, to Brisbane.

WTFruitcake was with the wind today????!!!!
I was supposedly doing an easy 110k ride that was mainly flat (except for Eatons Hill Rd and Samford Range at the start and finish) out to Nudgee Beach via Samford, but even at 6.00am the wind was up. Turned out to be a surprisingly hard ride with headwind plus the traditional hammer session towards Nudgee.
Then bit of gardening and multiple trips to the dump...legs are tired tonight...think I might drive to the meeting spot instead of riding there tomorrow, see how I feel when I get up.
Anyhow, should be a good day. Weather looks good, though cool. Wind from the W or SW but that should be OK in the Mountains I guess...reasonably protected.
How many of us are there...
Lukkeyboy, CaptainSlow, Albertgaleano + Korean friend, Bret.Hooker, IntheWoods, Crawf and me Pax = 8
See you at 6.30 at the servo.

I did actually turn up in pluggers. That didn't last long.Lukeyboy wrote:Footy shorts, pluggers, singlet?GeoffInBrisbane wrote:If it's 8 degrees here...then think of me in Stanthorpe this weekend!Lukeyboy wrote:Arm and leg warmers..... check!
Hope all you guys enjoy/enjoyed the ride this morning. Dunno what the weather is like in Brisbane, but it's beautiful up here this morning. Much better than the cold grey rainy windy day we had yesterday...
Anyway, hopefully y'all are keen for a repeat soon.

Sorry I had to bail early, I'll need to allow more time next time.
Cleveland/Vic Point/Mt Cotton is always an option next time, that'll be a good workout.

Felt like the grandfather of the group when we met at the Gap at the start of the ride.
Felt like the great great grandfather of the group as I staggered to my car at the end of the ride.
Showed me how much fitness I need to build to get back where I used to be a couple of years ago, and how much I will still need on top of that to keep up with you mountain goats.!!....not going to happen
Very special treat to bump into an old friend (Joanna) up at Nebo though, haven't seen her for a couple of years.
But definitely a great ride. Made my indoor soccer match in the afternoon painful too

It would be ~167km all up starting and finishing at Roma Street but there can be various meeting and finishing points such as those that might want to catch the train to Petrie railway station or some might want to duck off at Strathpine/Boondall/inner city railway line and get the train back to the city/southside if their legs are tired. Catchup/rest points can be the Petrie Lookout, Dayboro Village, the Mt Mee lookout (after campbells pocket loop), ride as a group to the pitstop cafe for lunch or if too busy grab a feed back at Dayboro, if spread out regroup at Dayboro for numbers on the run to Winn Road, regroup again at Eatons Crossing Road and maybe regroup again for Sandgate Road or the convention centre/Nundha Crit Circuit if people want to go via the bikeway instead of along sandgate road and maybe a final regroup at Southbank for another feed/couple beers

Shane, I think some of us were thinking about organizing a ride for every 2-3 weeks depending on who was available/numbers.
