Confident and capable learner riders, new or returning riders and regular riders ALL welcome. This is a steady pace, speed limited ride to give opportunity for new riders to practice the mountain twisties and the 100k flats in a supported group ride, plus it gives us regulars the opportunity for a beautiful scenic run with a great lunch at the The Grand Hotel Esk (https://www.grandhotelesk.com/menus).

We meet at The Gap BP on Waterworks Rd (See Map) at 0830 (last chance for coffee until Esk), with stands up at 0900. The ride from the Gap through Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious is renowned as one of the best runs in close vicinity to Brisbane. Over Mt Glorious and down the Western side for a rest stop and leg stretch at Red Cedar Park (BYO water as there is no drinking water at red Cedar Park). From Red Cedar Park we have a further 40 minutes scenic ride past Lake Wivenhoe onto Esk and The Grand Hotel for lunch, where we will enjoy excellent food.

After lunch, we will ride for 90 minutes through Fernvale, Pine Mountain, Kholo, Brookfield and on to the reserve car park on Gap Creek Road where the ride ends. See route link below. The google maps route needs to be viewed on a laptop or computer. Phones tend to corrupt the route line.

**Corner markers are essential to keep the group together, if you are the rider behind the lead and a corner is indicated, you MUST stay near the corner and indicate to all the riders in the group, the direction of the turn, corner markers remain in place until the Tail End Charlie (TEC) arrives. The TEC's will be wearing high vis vests so you can't miss them.**

Please note that some roads can be a bit bumpy in places, and all of the mountains can be quite a workout with sharp corners, please ride safely and at your own pace, we will wait for you no matter what!

This meet up group is simply an informal group of like-minded people who come together for a ride. It's not a formal organisation and therefore none of its organisers, co organisers, event organisers, sponsors or members have any obligation to you or anyone you bring along.
