You can make it a true loop and a bit shorter in distance by heading back up highway through Chandler and swing in the back way to Belmont. I know many riders have Capalaba as the start and finish point which would make it around 80 km.

Some are looking good. I personally prefer some sort of loop to get back to the CBD

you could do the front of Mount coot-thajack11 wrote:I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know of any good climbs other than Mt Gravatt that are between 1km and 2.5km and a steady gradient between 5% and 7.5%?
the back is 9%, but the front averages out to 6.6% or something
