Thought it timely
to throw some more details out there with new riders already feeling out the
ride for this year. At this stage I’m working on the assumption we have the 1
large group like the last couple of years but we’ll see if there may be 2
groups in time. The plan is to leave Calliope IGA at 4am (yes that's early) so
we get to Biloela for a good breakfast by 8 with a couple of stops along the
way. On the range the stronger riders will wait at the top of the longer climbs
so everyone can do their own pace when climbing.
Once at Biloela we
have our first long break and enjoy breakfast and of course some well deserved coffee.
Where we had breakfast last year the service was pretty slick so we shouldn’t
need to order early.
From there it's
off to Jambin for a quick check on everyone before proceeding to Dululu for
lunch. The support vehicles will meet us along the way on this section for some
cool drinks dependent on weather conditions. Once we get to Dululu it’s the
second long break with great pub meals and very cold refreshing drinks ;-)
From there we head
to Mt Morgan for a quick cool drink before heading down the range to Rocky. We
should be there around 4pm all going to plan.
If you're not sure
about the ride I can tell you while yes it's a long way, it's not a hard pace
so you don't so much smash yourself, more so you will get tired (obviously) and
your butt will get sore. So long as you keep up the food and drinks up the
others will keep you going ;-)
With some luck
the day won’t be too hot and the wind will be kind.
