We arrive at Peaks Crossing and park along the roadside opposite the Peaks Crossing Hotel. For those interested in the baggage service (at $15/per person) to drop bags off in Boonah and return them to Peaks Crossing the next day, you will need to have your $15 ready and put your bags into the back of the transport car.
We plan to leave Peak Crossing at 08:30am. The route for the day is shown below or can be downloaded in various formats i.e. MS-Word, TCX and GPX from the links below.
MS – Word version https://bbta.org/docs.ashx?id=1392590
GPX Version https://bbta.org/docs.ashx?id=1392586
TCX Version https://bbta.org/docs.ashx?id=1392587
The MS Word version contains the ride sheets for both days.
We plan to have a rest break in Warrill View, coffee and lunch in Kalbar (~50km). In the past we have tried to get lunch at Moogerah Dam but the café there is very unreliable.
Some riders may choose to go straight to Boonah from Kalbar. I have not mapped out that route but it is quite easy.
Those continuing on will ride to Moggerah Dam, then over the hill for a nice downhill ride into Mt Alford. In the past we have stopped off at the Scenic Rim Brewery at Mt Alford https://www.scenicrimbrewery.com.au/ and based on feedback I have had so far, we will do the same this year. After a refreshment we will then ride into Boonah.
That evening at 6:30pm we will meet for dinner at the Boonah Tavern, also called Simons Tavern. I have set up another event in the calendar called Dinner in Boonah https://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4002&club_id=738657&item_id=2349083 and if you are interested, please register so I can provide the venue with numbers.

To keep everyone connected I will set up an WhatsApp group for the ride. If you are uncertain about something either call, email or WhatsApp me. At this stage there is a plan for a little quiz about key features of our surroundings and perhaps a question on some of the history of the area. Should be fun.
Cheers
