I'm an intermediate rider heading to Brisbane and want some advice on
the pick of the rides in the area?

I keep seeing Daisy Hill and The Gap appear. Are they good spots? Where
else should I look for a decent ride? 🙂

On the Northside if you want a flat ride head east to the bay -
Sandgate or Redcliffe. If you want hills head west, go through Toowong
to Mt Coot-tha - short, fairly steep in places, or through The Gap to
Mt Nebo - long, not so steep, through Samford to Mt Glorious - fairly
long and very steep or to Dayboro and up Mt Mee - long, not so steep.

Someone else might like to comment on the southside, Daisy Hill is
down there.

If you want to race or a group ride this site is great:-

HI Mike,

Check out this web site

its a pretty good forum and there are a number of bike shop rides and
maps available to get you around, if you dont want to explore yourself,
depends on where you live in Brissy really ...
