Is racing only for the young? Brisbane oldie

Gday MS - from another Brissie semi-youth (46). Yes, we race. So do
the real old farts - 70 years + - although I know one guy who is near
80 who is thinking about handing in his licence. Where do you live,
and I can give you some tips on where to ride.

Thanks Donga.

I'm in Kenmore. I commute to Chermside 3 days a week. Sometimes I ride out
to Redcliffe, but never do I ride Mt Cootha, although lately I've been
thinking about including it in my ride a few days a week. Note only thinking
about it...

One of these days I'll have to get that council CD of the cycle paths!!

So, there is some racing to be had in Bris! Great news.

Forget the CD, you can find the council paths on the web on
OurBrisbane (the CD should be free, but they want folk to pay for it -
pah!).

Then check www.bikely.com for routes.

As for racing, get onto www.roadgrime.com.au for info about road
riding in SE Qld.

Your closest racing might be the crits run by the Ipswich Cycle Club,
somewhere around Jindalee. It's supposed to be a nice circuit - search
for threads on RoadGrime.

Also check the Nundah crits on Wed evenings in summer - on the way
home from work for you (the long way round). That club (Hamilton Pine
Rivers) also races Nundah on weekends and they have races at the
Lakeside circuit in the north.

Lots of other races too, e.g. Murarrie and on the road.
