The Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge – 10th October 2010

The event is a mass participation ride from Brisbane to the Gold Coast for thousands of cyclists. The event starts at South Bank and utilises the South East Busway to travel to Eight Mile Plains and then travels through Eagleby, Logan, Beenleigh, Coomera and Helensvale to the Gold Coast with a finish at Southport.

•100km ride starts at South Brisbane progressively from 5.15 am to 6.45am
•60km ride starts at Maurice Park, Eagleby (Logan City Council) at 8am
•Ride finishes at Mitchell Park, Southport
In addition to Bicycle Queensland’s aim of increasing the awareness of cycling the event also raises funds for health related charity/research organisations for which cycling forms part of the solution to their challenge. The beneficiaries for 2010 are the Heart Foundation and Diabetes Australia – Queensland.

I will be riding the 100k ride (and probably riding home after a McDonalds stop). Details and entry for the ride can be found at http://www.bq.org.au/b2gc100/
If anyone is intending or wanting to participate in the ride, please let me know and I’ll get a meeting time and place arranged.
We will ride at the pace of the slowest rider or if necessary split into two smaller groups to ensure everyone gets a good ride.

Was a good ride last year and hopefully this year the weather will be nicer for us.
Cheers
