Good road rides in/around Bris Vegas?
I'm off to Brissy next week for holidays - can anyone suggest good road
rides of anywhere between 30 - 100km? Or better still, are there any regular rides/groups that I could join up with? I'm looking for people that ride at a good training pace but not like nutter A graders or anything... TIA, &roo |

If you speak to almost any cyclist in Bris, they'll know about the
'River Loop'. It's an unofficial 35km loop roughly following the River. Being a loop (!!), you can start anywhere, but say from UQ St Lucia, it goes through Indooroopilly, across the river into Graceville, Yerongpilly, Yeronga, Fairfield, Dutton Park, Highgate Hill, West End, cross the river again at Southbank and then back along Coro Drive bikeway to St Lucia. If you don't know Bris, that's probably not much help to you though... Alternatively, you can pretty much rock into any bike shop and ask about organised rides. Some shops that I know of that have regular rides are Victor Cycles at Cooparoo, Lifecycle at Normanby 5-ways, Cycological in Elizabeth St, City, Planet Cycles at Woolloongabba. Good luck and happy cycling! J -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

Brisbane.... beautiful place for a bike ride, once you get out of the
city...!! the roads are all over the place. there are a couple of rides from Brisbane that were my stock rides. www.cycleogical.com.au have regular saturday morning rides varying from 80 to 100, highly recommended. I lived Northside, Chermside. Chermside, Samford, Chermside ~60kms round trip, rolling, 1 hill that can get you heart started. Chermside, Dayboro, Samford, Chermside (Doughnuts @ Samford) about 80+ kms return. Chermside, Samford, Mt Nebo, back via The Gap, hige ride, 100+ and an extreme hill climb up to Mt Nebo. they are all north of the city, riding out to Cleveland is great, via Old cleveland road, you can get out to cleveland further south and come back via Old Cleveland usually a tail wind and great road, anything from 60 to 100+ depending on where u start from. hope this helps.... you can email me for more directions if you like or just hook up cith cycleogical, they have a wednesday morning ride as well, leaves 6am from their Brisbane city shop. enjoy the weather and the people. cheers Mikey -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |
