Ipswich Roadies
Postby Davidrnau » Tue Jul 30, 2013 5:56 pm
Like to say hello to all fellow Ipswich cyclists, my first post here
After a long stint off the bike, want to get back into it, just presently upgrading the EMC2. I will post photos later.
At the time I was last on my bike I often road along the Augusta Parkway to Orion and back to my home off School Rd.
I like the dedicated bike lanes on the Augusta Parkway although the roundabouts at peak hour can make me abit nervey.
Just like to ask where are the best places in Ipswich to ride a road bike.
Regards
David

There are quite a few nice routes out the other side (Boonah etc.) however if you aren't into riding alongside cars through traffic you might not like the faster pace and more trucks on the back roads

I went a bit further to Grandchester on Saturday, speed limit gets a bit higher further out, but less cars and most are plenty patient

I haven't tried that one yet....will do Just park my car in Orion and good to gomunga wrote:from Yamanto to Springfield is a nice ride too. Plenty of wide shoulder, nice and smooth, not a lot of traffic, and some decent hills to push yourself on.
Really looking forward to when School Rd meets up (I live in Mountview estate) with the Centenary Hwy, you would have ridden past the round-a-about with the School Rd exit ready to go.

Dear David,
Thank you for contacting Ipswich City Council regarding the Road Network Schedule for Works.
The timing for School Road, Redbank Plains connection with the Centenary Highway has not yet been confirmed, however we hope the work will be completed within the next ten years.
Redbank Plains Road between Cedar and Keidges Roads, Redbank Plains will be extended to four lanes within the next five years.
If you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact council on 07 3810 6666 during business hours (8.00am - 4.30pm Monday to Friday) or email: council@ipswich.qld.gov.au

Hi
I have been looking at the Ipswich Planning Scheme..........Priority Infrastructure Plan (July 2012); Section 13.2.8.3 Road Network Schedule of Works
When is it planned for School Rd to connect with the Centenary Highway?
When will Redbank Plains road be extended to four lanes between Cedar Rd and Keidges Rd?
Regards

Yesterday I started out from home along Augusta Parkway, turing onto Centenery Highway at Orion, then onto the Cunningham Highway at Yamanto, thought I would be adventurous and venture into new territory and follow, ?probably air force guys heading back to Amberley on their road bikes.
Boy did my life start flashing before my eyes, bloody dangerous with narrow (ish) to me at least shoulders and of course everytime at there narrowest points had b-doubles ripping past me, noticed some nasty cracking in the bitumen at places also, wouldn't like to get a wheel caught up in it.
Gave up at the servo at Purga and did a u-turn (waited ages just to get across the road).
So glad to get back to Centenary Highway and have a sanga at Deebing Creek.
I don't understand how they allow bicycles in this section of the Cunningham Highway yet up the road heading towards Brisbane, when it becomes two lanes with wide shoulders no bicycles allowed.
Thoughts....
