Did you find a new spot?

Yezzzs we did. Springbrook!

While this is not a new ride to many SEQ riders it was our first time scoping it out we were not disappointed.

Instead of going from Advancetown to Beechmont, continue on down Nerang-Murwillumbah Road to (I think) Pine Creek Rd and head up the hill.

What a sweet little ride! 60km/hr speed limit but it is pretty so I didn’t mind that too much. You can obviously go a lot faster if you want to *Lady Rider Brisbane does not suggest breaking any laws* but for a first timer on new roads that I don’t know how heavily policed they are, lol, I prefer to take it easy.

No idea how far it is to the top, the end or wherever you actually go as didn’t map out a plan. We got as far as The Fudge Shop on the corner of Springbrook Rd and Lyrebird Ridge Rd to have a hot choc and some yummy fudge. Recommendation: cookies n cream, caramel macadamia or coconut ice.

Afterwards I looked at the map and saw lots of lookouts and falls that could be incorporated on our next few rides there. We are spoilt for choice in SEQ matched with rain-free skies almost year round. Summer gets a bit hot of course, just an excuse for rides to the beach, river hole or waterfalls for a cool dip.

I see posts from Victoria and NSW about riding season 😂😂😂 can’t relate. Will create a master document with all the rides we have been on locally and slightly beyond. Nothing that can’t be managed in a day and updated as soon as I complete new rides / routes.

With COVID-19 still keeping state borders closed, now is the perfect time to ride in your own backyard. It’s a lovely and extensive backyard to be in too.
