CLEVELAND LOOP via Thornlands, Capalaba, Birkdale & Wellington Point, Qld


For an embedded "Ride with GPS" map please open http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6951180

There are a number of routes that can be taken to ride to Wellington Point and a whole lot shorter than this but the purpose of the exercise is to bring you a ride which gives you variation and to me that is the essence of recreational cycling. At 35 kms, it puts it into the range of an average cyclist on a weekend ride looking for an enjoyable ride that is not too stressing.

CLEVELAND STATION RETURN via Ormiston, Thornlands, Cleveland Point, Qld.

This is a ride that can either be relaxing or used as a training ride depending on your mood. If you don't live locally, you have the option of taking a train or your vehicle.






After the ride you can settle in and have an ale at Hog's Breath or one of the other bar/restaurants dotted along the harbour to complete your afternoon of relaxation and if you happen to ride in the morning and consider it too early to indulge in a beer, then there are as many coffee outlets in the same area. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

MURRARIE to NORMAN PARK via ASCOT, QLD 31 km



For an embedded map of this ride, please open this link http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7819713

The Gateway Bridge, Brisbane, Qld.
Le Bon Choix

It's been awhile since we have stopped off at Le Bon Choix for coffee and cake so we scheduled a detour on our ride from Murrarie to Norman Park. This is about as authentic as a "french" cafe can get as even the staff have french accents. The coffee is A1 and the pastries and cakes are simply delicious. I'll be back again soon.

Riding over the Gateway requires a little grunt but it is simply a matter of choosing a low gear and taking your time. A 31 km ride that is well worth the effort.
