Suggested one day rides # 4

North - West

The most popular ride from Brisbane is Mt Glorious that lies to the west of the city. The roads north and further west are often combined so I will make a couple of suggestions along these lines.

First of all I dont ride Mt Glorious on a weekend as I dont want to be harrased by police - so ride at your own risk if you have a aftermarket muffler or under seat number plate etc.

A short ride might be up Waterworks road - over Nebo and Mt Glorious, then along past Somerset dam and on to Kilcoy. Then over to Woodford and back over Mt Mee to Dayboro and home for brunch. Or ride it in reverse order.

A longer ride might be over Clear Mtn on to Dayboro and over Mt Mee. Ride onto Woodford and then over to Kilcoy. From Kilcoy ride up the Jimna rd and back and then on to Somerset Dam and along Split Yard crk to Fernvale. Then return over Split Yard to the turnoff to Mt Glorious and ride over it and Nebo and back to City.

And for a real big day do as above but from Kilcoy ride to Esk then up the range to Hampton and return and then from Esk to Fernvale and as above or simply home via Ipswich h-way.


Lots more info about each of these roads with lots of pics can be found in the individual roads posted on the right side bar of the blog!
