SOCIAL RIDES

 

Welcome to our page showcasing upcoming social adventures by bike.  These rides are merely a means of getting like-minded people (like YOU) together to explore the "roads less travelled" - bitumen & dirt.  These outings are NOT linked with any Clubs or Associations, and as such, there is NO liability, insurance or rider support provided.  ALL participants are expected to be self-sufficient.

 

Note: Bicycle Queensland members have comprehensive coverage, which includes social rides such as these.  Why not sign-up? 

 

Routes provided are only suggestions, and may be subject to change on-the-day without prior warning - what can we say, life is full of surprises.  If in doubt; study the maps provided, familiarise yourself with the area, and learn to use your Garmin/Smartphone (upload files and navigate).  Alternatively ... just turn up and ride your damn bike!

 

 

 

COLT45

 

A gallop (or leisurely trot) across blacktop, backroads and gravel.  Starting and finishing at the Tolga Pub, this scenic route embraces the Tablelands; green open pastures, fresh fields of produce, glimpses of Lake Tinaroo and a float alongside the irrigation channels.

 

Suitable for road, mountain, hybrid, gravel and CX bikes - dirt/gravel roads encountered so we recommend 28C or wider tyres for comfort and control.

 

Breakfast/lunch available for purchase at the Tolga Pub afterwards.

 

The original route was 45km, though we'll be riding a shorter (less undulating) course of 32km.  This ride is suitable for beginners, with many options available to shorten the ride should your stomach/legs require.

THE CREPE ESCAPE  

 

For several years we've been escaping reality up in Kuranda; fresh mountain air, quiet rainforest roads and French crepes!  

 

Whilst our best kept secret (Petit Cafe) has now expanded to include a shop in Cairns, we're keeping with tradition and the scenic pre-crepe workout.

 

Suitable for mountain, hybrid, gravel and CX bikes - 75% dirt/gravel roads encountered so we recommend 28C or wider tyres for comfort and control.

 

Breakfast/lunch available for purchase at Petit Cafe afterwards.

 

This is an undulating course, so a reasonable level of fitness is required.
