After being washed out last year the annual BBTA Nanango-Kingaroy Supported Ride is back, starting and finishing in Nanango, about 2½ hrs NW of Brisbane and staying overnight in Kingaroy at the Burke & Wills Motel.
THE ROUTE
Saturday's ride takes us from Nanango on very quiet country roads to our brunch in the village of Kumbia (43km) before heading on to our overnight stay in Kingaroy (74km or 86km), where we will relax after the ride. On Sunday we head out to the hamlet of Goodger before climbing up to Maidenwell for a break at the General store (42km), then on to the finish in Nanango (78km). There are also options to shorten both days' distances as well.
