Also any bunches rides that occur on a regular basis that wouldn't mind an extra.

If I can get someone to watch my kids (and give me a lift to caboolture) for the day I'll be there. I'll be doing the 70km ride as i can manage 25kph+ for that, I am still trying to avarage 30kph on a short ride so the 110km ride is out for me, even though i would like to give it a shot.population100 wrote:I've not done it before but it seems pretty casual.

Do you live in Brisbane? If so there is a train leaving Milton / Roma St etc that arrives in Caboolture at 7.PB12IN wrote:If I can get someone to watch my kids (and give me a lift to caboolture) for the day I'll be there.

Gold Coast, but I was thinking of driving to fortitude valley and catching a train up (gets in at 7.09am), so we can take bikes on trains? will I need a go card? or can I use cash? only problem now is getting someone to look after my kids.population100 wrote: Do you live in Brisbane?

Yep. Bikes on trains are allowed on public holidays, weekends and non-rush hour in the week. See this link for more details;PB12IN wrote:so we can take bikes on trains?

you can use a GO card or cash. If you get on in the valley it's zones 1-8 so $7.25 with a GO and $10.40 with cash.PB12IN wrote:will I need a go card? or can I use cash?

Are the entry fees for a charity ride- cure cancer, endeavour foundation etc tax deductable?
I would love to ride in quite a few of the events being planned but am on a budget

when i did a charity ride in Toowoomba a few years ago the organizers (Endeavour foundation) sent me receipt with entry fee component and separate donation component.liquor box wrote:this question probably makes me the biggest tight arse around, but here it is anyway!

I wondered if this suggested that the entry fee was maybe not really tax deductable.
My accountant put both in as tax deductions.
Entry fees vary, for that ride in Toowoomba it was about 80 dollars. Last year i did the Tour de Tamborine, for which the entry fee was 65 dollars.
Hard to niggle about that amount of money when you see how much organisation and support goes into most of these events.
But some events are more expensive.

Have been waiting and waiting. But considering I did coot-tha twice sunday, I think I'll be able to do coot-tha with the 85kms. As long as coot-tha is first, or close to the start.heay wrote:jasonc wrote:Just entered the coot-tha challenge. scary

From the bits and pieces that i have heard, the cootha clicmb will be the midpoint of the ride for this years course! that may alter some good times this year? We shall wait and see when BQ post the course details.
When you feel yourself struggling up a hill, just get over it!
