Yes they run most Tuesday nights weather permitting. It's the trip out there, plus a couple of laps (self paced). They re-group and then head into town. They are even known to stop for an optional beer.Abby wrote:I believe there is a Tuesday night group that ride from Lifecycle bike shop on Petrie Terrace (google their website for details)...myforwik wrote:what time is best to try it, only mornings? do many ride it later afternoon or night?
Alternatively Wednesday mornings is very popular there, but in general most mornings see's lots of cyclists. Note that just before 7am is the rush hour to the TV stations.

Easy. Bicentenially bikeway to toowong, then sylvan rd, then some more bikeway to the cycle bridge over the western freeway, and you are thereDTdotcom wrote:Does anyone know the best route to Mt Coot-tha from the CBD, might give it a go.
oh and ps. Mornings are better because they are cooler, there's more riders around (safety in numbers), and if you are early enough and there is fog, its rather nice.

I was reading the winner of last years cootha challenge was in the high 7's which was surprisingly "slow" given the record is in the 6's.adam0bmx0 wrote:I'm down to 8:20 now, a target is to get into the 7's.

I think you may be looking at the wrong segment. This is the one we all use:

It's a BCC road. Sadly they won't paint the markers back on the road. A mate who works there has begged and pleaded to no avail.Momentum Man wrote:Rode the back on the weekend and noticed there was some resurfacing work taking place. Do we think TMR/BCC will paint the distance markers back on the road??
