Yea and who was the one who left me for dead in Binna Burra? EDIT: both up and down!Smithstreet wrote:You won't need a triple Pinto. I've seen you climb.

Sorry, I have seen it on Google street maps... It looks steep on that.

You lot can get nicked! (Jason told me to say that). In all seriousness, looks a little much for me. Maybe if I had a 32t cassette to add to my compact, or if i had a bike with a triple. Even then you blokes would probably be climbing too fast for me...jasonc wrote:you guys are nuts. I'm out for this one
i reckon even geoff would tell you to get nicked
Actually have the day to myself on Saturday, may do a rerun of last week's Coot Tha/Nebo/Glorious/Gap Creek Rd/Brookfield but add in Gap Creek and Coot Tha again on the return from Brookfield. Should bring it past 4000m which will be the most I've done in a ride before. Anyone else welcome, will most likely start from Indooroopilly bridge around 6ish, maybe earlier.

But if you do get up to the BOA, it is only a short walk to the lookout, from where you can see the Byron Lighthouse quite clearly in the distance (if the weather is clear).
Sounds interesting Geoff, depends though.

I actually would like to do BOA one day. Got to get a bigger cassette though. Actually I need to work up to that sort of thing. Quite keen to do some different climbs this winter rather than just my usual haunts. Might do O'Reillys sometime soon if anyone is interested. Any other suggestions welcome, I'd like to explore some more!elantra wrote:Well and truly out of my league.Dimma wrote:So something like this but cut back to Robina earlier via Worongary Rd or if ur feeling great The Panoramaldrcycles wrote:I thought that must have been it, i couldn't see any other roads going up there.

Steve if you're up for Saturday let me know. Similar deal to Harrisville only a lot easier to get to. Last week's version ended up being 160km, I would think with GC Rd/Coot Tha twice it would probably be around 180km this time from Indro bridge.
