Of course yes. The more the merrier. Hopefully we will get some fine dry weather again soon.

was hopping to do a 2 or 3 day ride down 'Byron' and surrounding areas, have heard there's some nice rides that-a-way. Maybe even have a coffee at Nimbin

Coffee? Nimbin? Hmmmm, I'm thinking you've got the wrong place for that . They have lots of stuff there, but I don't think it's called coffee

Herbal tea.....

nah just coffee,,,,,,,,,,, and maybe a six pack of those tasty cookies that they make

Been invited on a shop ride Sun. To Maleny (heard you can get a breakfast at Cairncross Park from 9am). Then to Mt Mee - good coffee at the Pitt Stop Cafe....

A part day ride would be better for the missus,

Shop ride - last Sunday...








The above photos are of the pit stop cafe at Mt Mee.

We rode from Caboolture - north (back roads) to Beerburrum, Glasshouse, Landsborough, Maleny, then left to Woodford. Came out on the Beerwah-Kilcoy road - right to woodford. Then Dag pub for a piss stop & Mt Mee for coffee at the Pit Stop Cafe. Approx 160km's Cab to Cab.

I reckon it's the cold & wet weather that has slowed the enthusiam of this thread.
Someone put the mockers on.

Went for a ride yesterday with the missus. She was ok, it was me that felt the cold. When the sun was out, it was good.

Have ordered her a leather jacket, so I'd say once it arrives & she is satisfield with it, she will be chomping at the bit for another ride.

Couldn't agree with you more about the weather being a HUGE factor. Hopefully only about another 6 weeks and we should see a big improvement in things. I will be definately pushing for more group rides then.

Mum & I rode Dag hwy to Dayboro then Petrie, Griffin, Dohles Rocks & home up the hwy - last Sunday. A little cool in the shaded parts.
Looking forward to the next Bne Nth ride. Like to see some after market exhausts on the Bandit. Mum'll have her new riding gear by then.

Well lets do this then people! I posted info about a ride a few weeks ago & no-one even commented so I removed it, anyone interested??!!??!!??

im intereseted. What do you have in mind?

Hi Holdenman, hows things?

The best day for me at this stage would be Sunday 16th of September. Depends on who else is interested as to where we will go, I am based in Brisbane but from Memory you are up Gympie way?? If you can get any more Northerners together we should start from up north somewhere but is the majority are going to be from Gold Coast etc then we should probably start further south.

If anyone reads this & is interested in a group ride on Sunday 16th September please post your interest & state where you are & we will arrange something!!

My wife Marissa & I will be riding on 2 bikes & we are in Brisbane (Northside). She is keen to give her new bike a good run (SFV650)...

I could be in for this, will wait to see details. I'm also northside Brisbane.

I think i read on your last post that you wanted to go through maleny mapelton etc etc. Can i suggest that you may want to ride to Kenilworth straight up the Highway. Have Brunch at Kenilworth at Bellbird Cafe and then through the obi obi and back down through all the towns. Just a idea

And yes im in Gympie but quite happy to meet you at eumundi were you go off the highway
