Or, alternatively, one could take Sandgate road to Sandgate instead of the bikepath - the road is not that bad on a Sunday morning and has a bike lane or a wide shoulder for the most of it. After getting to Sandgate one could continue as usual to Brighton, Redcliffe and beyond...MountGower wrote:Something some of you may be interested in. Evans Cycles have SKS mudguards delivered for $49.
Getting to Sandgate using the bike path is about twice longer (which is a good thing, of course), but those wooden slippery parts just freak me out, splashing the bike with salt water makes me feel bad and the slow wiggly bit through the wetlands is kinda boring...
Redcliffe caffes are just as good as the Nudgee one

So a halvsy? Follow the bike track to Toombull and then jump onto Sandgate road. For me the bike path is better on the outbound side ... and come home via the wetlands?RepcoMonaco wrote:Or, alternatively, one could take Sandgate road to Sandgate instead of the bikepath - the road is not that bad on a Sunday morning and has a bike lane or a wide shoulder for the most of it.

The bikeway itself is clean though right to Nudgee road.

Thanks for the update, I'm planning a long(ish) ride on Sunday, pleased to know that the path through the wetlands is open.

There are a few puddles left on the KBB and a couple of bigger ones through the wetlands, the worst one is nearer the Bondall end...as we approached it on our outbound ride someone had just come off and landed in the drink so we had a good ends up with this one...kinda get's you with short notice on the inbound approach!
A great way to notch up a 90k ride, wishing that I'd had enough in the tank for the century

We rode that route to Redcliffe and found them okay. Just got the bike a little wet. We rode from 8 Mile Plains and ended up doing 145km. Couldn't have asked for better weather.marinmomma wrote:Rode the KBB through the wetlands and continued over to Redcliffe this morning.

Funny you should ask, we pushed to see how much we had left in the tank to get up the hill and we started at 20kph and topped out at 26kph. Heart rate wouldn't go anymoremarinmomma wrote:Dave thats a huge ride, how where the legs coming home? Gaza Rd hill would be a huge ask after almost 140k!! (for me anyway)
We were commenting we should have done another 15km's to make up the imperial century.
We are doing the 160km ride from Byron bay to Gold Coast on Nov 14th and at the 140km is Mt Tomewin (300mtr +) climb. That will kill us
cheers

Kedron Brook Bikeway to the sea conditions report

Tonight's storm really nailed our place. Water leaked through all our windows and under the front door. Of all of the things that could've crossed my mind after that storm, the first thing I thought was "I reckon my new panniers could've withstood that!"

Maybe one of these pedal boats would do the trick.

As you can see it wouldn't take much more rain for it to break it's banks again.
