ryan, how often do you do this? i really want to come but this sat might be pushing my luck. Where do you stay? what do you bring? how much money does this costs to camp and what not?
hey philly, think I saw you guys rolling down Brunswick st tonight, was really jealous.
I have done BNE to Byron once before, but am keen to make it a regular thing. I have some mates down there that I can stay with or my folks live about 25km south of Byron - if anyone ever wants to stay I should be able to sort out free accommodation. I’m taking a backpack and keeping it light, some jeans, a shirt, toothbrush, thongs (the foot type…) camera and phone.
There are beach side camp ground that have permanent cabins set up that are there too - prices are highly seasonal ($10 - $100) but try googling First Sun Caravan Park and Clarkes Beach Caravan Park for starters. Heaps of backpackers too.
I’'ve decided to do the full return trip, about 400km for the weekend. I’m keen to do at least bi-monthly so let me know if you’re ever heading down.
There are three of us going to Robina then turning around this Sat so feel free just to do that leg if you’re pushed for time.
I’m in for a Bris -> Goldie -> Bris on Saturday. Where we meeting, what time?
top of valley mall - 6am
gabba/planet cycles - 6:15am
keen for that breakfast just south of surfers again!
Yeah that was a good spot! Let’s hit it and we can go our separate ways after a feed.
so im in! valley mall at 6 am. ill be there to ride to GC for breakfast and then make it back. definitely next time for byron!
Looking forward to this one. I’m meet you at Planet cycles at 6:15am.
I am down for this shit when I get home!
Return trip was 365km at just over 26km/h. Learned never take Logan Rd citybound at lunchtime on a Sunday and that the Pacific Highway is WAY better than the Tweed Coast Road. Thanks philly, dan and dave for coming out - really fun ride.
Yeah next time we do it I’ll show you a good way to avoid Logan road on the return leg. That shit gets nasty!
Ordering up a new seat so that I don’t go numb next time we do it. Also flipping the head-stem to give myself a bit more rise.
May be keen on another roll down and back on March 6th? Got to check the calendar though.
^ you climb up the inclines and then hit all the red lights coming down the other side, really frustrating! I know there is a bikeway somewhere but missed the entrance I think.
At this stage I’m good for the 6th. Should’ve got Lola’s number on Sunday…
I am down for March 6th.
me and a few mates are riding to the coast on 13th march, are you guys riding the service roads to the coast (ie. similar to brisbane to gold coast ride)?
Yeah last few times we’ve taken the service roads down from the end of Logan road.
march 6 is good for me.
march 6th wont work for me, but now that i know where the GC actually is and how much more water i should bring (ie a bottle) i definitely am coming next round. hahaha i still cant believe how little attention i payed to the map…
BUMP fuckers. i am home. this is definantly on. If weather is not to brutal HOT/ not to wet i will be eating breakfast at the GC and riding back to Brisbane.
I’m definitely in and want to be in pain the next day.
How does 6am Brisbane Square sound.
5am bitches. or i could be nice and say 5:30 @ Brisbane SQ.
Believe me the earlier the better! You’s choose.
Make it 5am.
