퀸즐랜드 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

A breakfast 'Bruffin' or a Curry pie for lunch. Oh so yummy. A bruffin is a muffin (English, not American) with bacon, egg, cheese, and tomato baked inside.

The fence is just after you pass Lowood. There have been trees planted along this section now, that will inevitably obscure this oddity in time.

A nice shelter on a rainy day for me. Do not think that you can drink the tank water, unless you like stomach issues. This applies to all the tanks along the whole trail. Refill your water in the towns that you pass through. Keep the bottles topped up. A flat tyre on a sunny day away from the few shelters can be thirsty work.

From here to Fernvale is easy, with the first few kilometres concrete shared path. Then it turns to gravel. As you move further along past Fernvale and towards Esk you start getting more low gradient hills, but it is still relatively easy for a loaded touring bike. Easier still on an unloaded gravel or mountain bike. A lot of people use eBikes as well. There are some deep gullies into creek beds further out but there have been some new bridges put in now that make life simple. On a self supported ride it might be best to walk the bike in and out of these. Hard work, but much safer.

it should be clear by the the end of the day

shade and somewhere to sit to have a break and a snack.

Gravel bike or mountain bike only. Not a road bike as mistakenly mentioned.

Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Easy ride, gravel with some slight undulations and short sharp pitches through some of the gullies. Nice views of farmlands and historical towns.
