B2G 2013
Postby singlespeedscott » Sun Sep 15, 2013 1:05 pm
Given last and previous years train debacles I've decided I am going to ride back to Brissie after the ride. The problem is I'm a Northerner and have little idea as to the best way to get back to the Brisvegas CBD.
I would prefer a safer route versus just the shortest way.

Give me a yell if you want a Strava link, I plan to have a quick coffee and head home around 0815 before it gets too hot.

Will be heading in from Mt Gravatt and getting a lift back, so should be about 120 for the day.
Interested if I can get close to the 36km/hr mark achieved last year.

What downhills? The ride is flat as a tack.Lukeyboy wrote:On any downhill runs you better hold on tight and try to stay in the draft otherwise I'll see you at the finish line... or the next red light

I'd like to see them change the route so its not following the highway. Would be better to head out towards Norwell/Jacobs Well IMHO.

Looks a just a little different to last year. Around Pimpama 68km park going up Yawalpah rd in lieu of following closer to the Motorway. Unfortunately got that bone rattling, rough as guts section around Stapylton.
Now the start times and maps have been posted plan to be there around 4.30 to get as close to the front as possible. Will be a long day.

Have a great ride to all that have entered. Cheers.
Bikes: 1 x Steel 26” Cruiser, 2 x Alloy Roadies, 1 x Full Carbon Roadie.
It is unfair if only one bike gets all the attention.
