Riding in Queensland Craig Steffens
Heading to the Australian Championships in September/ October? Looking for an excuse to linger a while longer in sunny Queensland? Then why not take advantage of the many and varied off-road riding opportunities that exist, while you’re north of the border. South East Queensland has a variety of choices, from the black soils of the Bicentennial National Trail, the grassy Rail Trail corridors, sandy pine forests and dedicated single track areas. All are within easy reach of Brisbane and you could work your way from one to the other and end up at the Australian Championships venue. Many great camping sites and coastal tourist parks can provide a base to operate from while enjoying the beach and bush. An excellent publication by Gap Creek Trails Alliance, Where to Ride in South East QLD, lists many rides with details and rough maps. It’s available from most of the larger bike shops locally. Another source of local information is www.mtbdirt.com , which has trail information, forums and maps relating to Brisbane and SE Queensland area.
