Border Ride, Sunday 9/4
|
Sunday 9 April
Border Ride
|
Hey Gary,
Did you end up going ahead with the ride on Sunday? Get many people? We
were planning on coming along, but we had a last minute change of
plans, which made us too late.
By way of a peace offering to the motorcycling gods, we ended up
watching The Worlds Fastest Indian later in the day (great movie).
Still would have liked to have been out there though - was a great day
for it, and whilst I don't know the route you were planning on taking,
I do know that there's some amazing country down that way.
Hope to get a ride report when you get a spare 5 (or 30) minutes, just
so I know what we missed!
Matto :)
05 Sprint ST (is sad now it didn't get get to go play on Sunday)

Join us to explore the Great Dividing Range in the Queensland-NSW
border area!
Depart Ipswich, travel back roads via Beaudesert to Kyogle for lunch
(cafe/pub/etc). This route of approx. 180km (some highway time, plenty
of twisties) includes the famous Lions Road. Return via Woodenbong &
Rathdowney, probably disperse there north/east.
|
Might I suggest a slight detour?
Ipswich --> Boonah
|
Well, he _is_ getting on a bit and a bit hard of reading Clem!
|
Boonah --> Rathdowney
From Rathdowney carry on as planned. The Boonah/Rathdowney Rd is a tad
more pleasant to ride than the Mt Lindesay from Beaudesert.
|
I appreciate your suggestion! I was sort of saving that for returnees to Brisbane's west and
north, such as myself, but we could just as easily head home via Beaudesert. We'll decide on
the day.
|
Not that I'll be there, mind (previous commitments)!
|
Ah well. Next time perhaps.
|
Have fun.
|
Meet at 10am Sunday 9/4, at the Conneara Heritage Centre, Redbank
Plains Rd (just off the Cunningham Hwy). All welcome! That means we
won't leave you behind if you have a small bike or are a beginner.
Look forward to seeing everyone next Sunday!
