Join us for an overnight ride.

August 4 2007. 

 
We will depart Lifecycle and head out to Samford via Ferny Hills. The first major climb of the day will be the Samford range at approximately 1.5klm long. We will pass through Samford and head to Dayboro about 20klm of rolling hills past North Pine dam. Once we hit Dayboro will be ascending Mt. Mee the major climb of the day. Mt Mee climb is approximately 6klm of steady climbing followed by 15klm of undulating dairy country. A very steep and fast(80klm/hr) descent follows which will put us 8klm from Woodford where we will stop for morning tea at the Woodford bakehouse.

After re-fueling we leave Woodford and head up the Beerwah/Kilcoy road towards Peachester. This road passes the site of the folk festival and is really beautiful flat valley riding, that changes after about 20klm when we begin the ascent to Maleny. This climb begins with a steady 2klm climb after which we turn left onto Stanley River road. This bad boy is probably the hardest of the day with quite steep sections and varying grades throughout. Dont despair, this is the homeward stretch and leads us to a left hand turn into Mountain View road where will be staying for the night. The total for this ride will be around 125klm, these roads are some of the most beautiful riding you will find however please make sure you have enough fitness to complete this ride.

 
We will be riding back to Brisbane Sunday morning and should be back mid to late afternoon.

Sundays ride will be about the same distance but considerably easier. We will descend the Blackall range into Peachester,  then ride back to Brisbane behind the Glasshouse mountains and through Morayfield back to the shop.
