Audax rides around Cairns
Yep - Theresa Creek road forms part of the waterfall circuit and it too has
stunning scenery. There are just so many "country"roads up here. Cycling paradise as long as you love hills! Kathy |

Cycling paradise as long as you love hills! Kathy That's great. I'll have to get up there asap and have a look around. P I have re=examined the maps and think I have a couple of reasonable alternatives based on your advice Kathy. They are on bikely as: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Tablelands-300 and http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Tablelands-300-2 I'm going to drive up on the Anzac day long weekend and drive/ride the routes (well ride one of them anyway). I'm inclined towards second option via Port Douglas because the scenery should be fantastic and there's less climbing. I'm hoping that between 5am and 8am on a Sunday morning the traffic shouldn't be too bad on the Captain Cook Hwy. By 8am most people would have arrived in Port Douglas. My main concern is the section between Mt Molloy and Mareeba. There doesn't appear to be an alternative but it does have a shoulder all the way from what I can see. The other route is more or less straight up the Gillies Range and back. It has about 1000m more climbing for the day but has that beautiful section of the Palmerston Hwy before Ravenshoe. What do you think? Peter |
