A man rides on his STeed, says “Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention”.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

Had lunch at Cafe by Farmer & Sun  Gympie today.

They fed 30 people, and not one complaint. Beautiful food.

Just had dinner at the Tin Can Bay Yacht Club. 

I'm thinking an overnighter to Tin Can Bay with a Lunch stop at the Cafe by Farmer and Sun on the way up  is quite on the cards.

Shonee and I went to the Boardwalk Restaurant & Bar in North Lakes.

It's beside the lake in North Lakes, open from 7:30 am to 7 pm, and has undercover parking.

It would make a great RTE destination for breakfast, lunch or early dinner.

Possibly even a mid week RTE. I could duck out, grab breakfast, and be home in time for work.

Anyone interested?

I put the thinking cap on after our last RTE to Brightview Tavern
Plainland Hotel which was cancelled because of Covid
Cabarlah Hotel. We went there quite a few years ago
Exchange Hotel Kilcoy
Aratula Hotel
Royal Hotel Kalbar
Cooyar Hotel
Just a few that I have been to and think would be good for an RTE

The Mill Inn Tavern at Millmerran is very nice but a bit far from Brisbane for a day ride and they only have 5 double rooms Accommodation to stay overnight

There are dozens of great venues and destinations in SE Qld. As long as there is a good spread of destinations, N S E W, that gives everyone a good chance to attend a couple per year that isn't too far from them. As co-ordinators, Shiney and Gadget do a great job every year of organizing these things. Kudos to you both.   :clap  :clap

In the Warwick area there are a few choices
Killarney hotel
Sandy creek hotel (there claim to fame is pig racing to raise money for charities)
Gardens Galore cafe
Cherry Tree cafe
Cafe Jacqui’s
For something completely different Best Brook mountain resort  can overnight in cabins go horse riding next door is Gap Creek dirt bike park  but can just do lunch or smoko 
But if you want to go up market AND I mean really up market there is Spices Gap Retreat (road in not bike friendly and fat wallets are a must  ;-*)

So how do you know about it?   :p
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

 :blu13 I had the day off yesterday. So went for a ride to Crows Nest via Mt Mee, Kilcoy, Yarraman. Going through Cooyar, noticed Gary Mccoy's place is no longer around. Had a great Burger at Dingers Fish & Chips Crows Nest. Came home via Lake Cresbrook, Esk, Mt Glorious. Great day for a ride.  :blu13left
