Further details/info - see the "Planet Cycles Rider" Facebook page. I have ridden with them a number of times before on their Saturday shop rides (Wynnum loop). They are super-friendly, and very well organised.
I've never done Nebo/Glorious before, so I'm thinking of tagging along for a crack at it. Just thought I'd let everyone know in case anyone else wants to give it a crack. I am pretty much the complete opposite of a hill climber, so you'll almost certainly not be the slowest person there...
Cheers,
Abby

Saturday is free for me, but I guess lots of people will be racing instead?

Define arvo Not sure of times as everyone would have different speeds (City-Dayboro would most likely be as a group due to it being pretty flat to Petrie. Mt Mee should be closed space as its a gradual climb. Mt Mee to Dayboro will be in a group/close spacing as its downhill. Dayboro - Clear Mountain would be grouped/single file for safety. Some might drop off along the Clear Mountain climbs. Clear Mountain/Eatons Crossing Road - City is downhill/flat so it should be as a group/closed spacing), any meeting/catch up points along the way, lunch etc but I've been generous on some of the sector times.GeoffInBrisbane wrote:Hmm...got stuff happening on Sunday arvo (so I'm told)...what time do you reckon on returning?
~60-70 minutes City - Petrie
~35-40 minutes Petrie - Dayboro
~60-70 minutes Dayboro - Mt Mee
~30 mins Mt Mee loop via Cambells Pocket/Pedwell Road
~30 mins Mt Mee - Dayboro
~90-110 minutes Dayboro - Bald Hills via Clear Mountain (depending on how people go at hitting up Clear Mountain)
60-90 Minutes Bald Hills - Bowen Hills depending on the route taken ie Sandgate Road or via Kedron Brook Bikeway. If its tight for time you could jump on a train at Bald Hills to the City which is about 35 mins to Roma Street or use the park and ride at Bald Hills or Carseldine railway stations)
If there are numbers maybe we could also have a couple post ride beers/something to eat at South Bank.

Is it supposed to be a little bit of rain, or horrible on Sunday?

Finished it up with Coot Tha - oh my god, time to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiie! Got cramp in crappy left leg at the bottom, then just suffered all the way up. The back took me about 5 minutes longer than normal, and my HR was going mental - average for the segment of 208, max 223. I must have been showing it cos two people passed me (one on a full sus MTB) and both of them asked if I was okay. So if that was anybody here, thanks for your concern.
Anyway, overall I had a really good time. Might do it again next weekend, hopefully with a bit more fitness and a little less pain at the end.

The end of waterworks is much quieter, it goes down to 1 lane each way at settlement road and is quiter from there on. Plus its a very wide single lane.Shpox wrote:Just a question about Nebo. Is there a bike lane / is it safe to bike on Waterworks Rd via Payne Rd? I'm planning to go through school road, but not sure how heavy traffic is on the end of Waterworks.
