What's ON in September

Ah Spring,..let's dust the gravel bike off, as variety opens up when the temps are rising,..

 

So,..plenty of action waiting for you,...

 

First up, are the two days of loop rides out of that great little town of Killarney. You'll need a gravel bike or MB and a good dose of energy. Four rides are noted and decisions made subject to weather and conditions. It'll be fun. The Condamine Gorge and Queen Mary falls are absolutely brilliant. Check them out herehttps://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=738657&item_id=2482204

 

This Sunday 9th, Margaret Caley leads a group up the BVRT from Wulkuraka to Fernvale for a well earned lunch at the Country Markets.https://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=738657&item_id=2672300

 

The week after on the 10th, Lawrence Ferrari has a leisurely 4 day tour taking in parts of the Downs Burnett Cycle Trail from Kulpi, over to Bell, Cooyer, Kingaroy and Yarraman. Fabulous. 5 in so far,..https://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=738657&item_id=2692988

 

A day later on weekend of 13th and 14th Peter Brennan has his Ballina to Casino and back tour. This tour covers magic country, with a great social couple of days away. Registrations are closed, however, options could be available if you had your own accommodation. Message Peter if you are keen.https://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=738657&item_id=2442149

 

On the Friday before 12th we are riding the final leg of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail some 30 km each way from Casino to Lismore. Not long opened and quite different to the very popular initial leg from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek.https://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=738657&item_id=2510849

 

Then on Thursday 18th Alex Geels leads another rail trail ride from Kingaroy to Murgon and return on the KKRT. It'll be another top day out with great riding conditions.https://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=738657&item_id=2702010

 

That brings me to our Club Get Together on Saturday morning 20 th up on top of Mount Gravett 8 till 10. Always get the regulars in attendance which is fabulous, but I'm keen to see more of us up there. it's a great ride up with an awesome view of Brisbane. Please Consider.

 

The regular rides are on the calendar to see.

 

These cover Iain Moore's Saturday Arvo rides each Sat. from Windsor train Station at 3 pm and John Stevens 2 Points from Gumdale each Sunday morn at 7 am. Aileen Franklin's Bayside Breeze is on two Sundays, 14th and 28th starting at 8.05 am from Lota train station and Iain Moore's Brunch Sandgate ride is on 21 St leaving Kalinga Park at 7.30 am.
