Mostly Bike Path from Crit Track at Toombul and back roads to Sandgate via Shorncliffe Hill, along seafront and return to Coffee on Shorncliffe Hill (Preece’s) then return to Crit Track at Toombul
We have a re-group point at the top end of Swan street opposite Moora Park just 100 M from Preece's Cafe at Shorncliffe. We wait for anyone who left the Criterion track with us at 7:00 and they need to be present before we roll on.
Due to the number of pedestrians, dogs and bike riders coming from the opposite direction near the start we will all begin the ride together right behind the ride leader, and sit under 25 km/hr to the first bridge about 1.2 km from the start.
Distance Approx : 50k.
Pace Grading :
Two speed groups start together and separate after the first bridge before everyone shares coffee at the coffee stop and if the mood takes a chat at the end.
MF = Moderately Fast (speedo average 24-26kph)
Q = Quick (speedo average 27-29kph)
Hill Grading : 2 = some hills (more than 2/3 of the ride is on flat terrain; steep climbs are short, and few and far between)
Road Surface : Sealed - OK for Road Bikes
