OK folks - here is the next SEQld (and anyone else who can make it) RTE schedule..... SUNDAY OCT 28TH - 9AM

Here is the route.............

http://goo.gl/maps/9s7FL

We start at the BP Service Centre Caboolture Northbound at 0830 for a 0900 ride out.

We head up to the Steve Irwin Way exit and after a few kays - hit the backroads through some picturesque Golden Circle fruit producer's farms.

A nifty little back way in to Landsborough, threading our way through the Glasshouse Mountains, will see us climb the range and ride along the rim's edge of the township of Maleny, before dropping down again and motoring through Kilcoy to Esk where we might stop in and have a brew.

Then it's through the fantastic roads of Ravensbourne National Park to pop out at Hampton and then lunch at the Farmer's Arms Hotel at Cabarlah.

After this, we ride down through the Lockyer Valley, a few kays of highway motoring, then more backroads through Lowood to our final destination at Fernvale ~~Bakery~~ Tavern.

It's home how you want from there - but some of the more fortunate get to go up and over Mt Glorious in their travels.

Hope to see a huge crowd for this one as the ride alone is fantastic - let alone the awesome company you'll get to enjoy.

Cannot make this ride as I am already booked for Dorrigo on the 4th.

Noooooo. I have a family reunion on that weekend. Funnily enough, it's at Cabarlah on the 3rd and then an "immediate family" get-together at Crows Nest on the 4th. So I will be in the area but just not on the ST. Oh man.

Sounds like a great ride, but I've already committed to Dorrigo. :(

Enjoy.

I have changed the date to 28th Oct so this does NOT clash with the Dorrigo ride.

Cheers, Diesel

Marissa and I should be good for this one

We're off on a 3 day ride this weekend staying over night at Bellingen (near Dorrigo) and Inverell. So will have to pass on the planned Dorrigo run.

Cheers

B & M :) :)

Yahooo!!

So glad you went forward and not back, as the weekend after Dorrigo, I've got to be Rocky for a Wedding.

Might be riding up for that one too!. Son and wife in the Covertible. :)

I'll speak to the little boss and see what's happening.

Aw, sorry guys but I'll be at Phillip Island for the Australian Moto GP that weekend. (Still waiting for the broken pannier lid though).

Shiney · « **Reply #10 on:** September 27, 2012, 06:33:18 PM »

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make the ride due to work commitments

Damn work getting in the way of a good ride

Anyway I hope you all have a great time,

I look forward to reading the ride report and checking out the pics

Cheers
Shiney

have been to the farmer arms before, the food is great and xtra large

May I pass on the fact that the Beerwah/Peachester rd is now free of traffic lights ruining the fun in the bendy bits
Might be a worthy detour then at the western end of peachester you can turn right up bald knob rd and then resume the ride to Maleny.

I just found another little 'nook' of a road I'll take us all down as part of this ride - in a word.... "AWESOME!

As long as my bike is back together!

Streak · « **Reply #16 on:** October 04, 2012, 10:32:59 AM »

Looks good to me, count me in!

Gadget · « **Reply #17 on:** October 04, 2012, 06:02:49 PM »

Just a suggestion:

The BP at Caboolture gets quite busy so I suggest we meet up in the forecourt to the right-hand side of the traffic Island that separates the trucks and Cars. (to the left of the (A) on the map in the link below)

Only thought with that one Gadget, can people who want to fuel come back against the flow of traffic. We usually find a spot just up past the shops at the northern end but either way we'll manage to find each other. Especially as it looks like NO-ONE else is coming.

Yep - someone else who rode it commented that it was a freak! I'm kinda sure he meant the bike tho.

Brian · « **Reply #23 on:** October 04, 2012, 09:11:53 PM »

......I've scarred the belly pan on this one already
