Although the morning started off very
wet and dreary by the time we arrived at Nudgee Boat Ramp the rain
had stopped.
We set off along the cycle track on
Nudgee Road and then followed the MBRC route which took us along past
Nudgee Golf Course (much to Richard's chagrin that he was pedalling a
bike and not swinging a golf club) and followed the Kedron Brook
floodway passing under the Gateway Motorway and then on to Toombul.
After Toombul we followed the track again along Kedron Brook through
Stafford, Everton Park and onto Mitchelton. So far we had travelled
approximately 22 klms. Time for a coffee break. Blackwood Road at
Mitchelton is a good eatery street and gave us time to recoup over
coffee and a nibble. By the time we were ready to leave a light rain
was falling.
We set off for the return trip during
which the rain became more persistent eventually arriving back to
Nudgee Beach rather damp and bedraggled for our picnic lunch. As
luck would have it, the rain stopped and the sun peeped through the
clouds so we were able to have a pleasant lunch before taking off for
home.
Approximate kilometres: 47
A good turnout for this ride, one we
hadn't done before and I think it was enjoyed by all participants.
