Pomona, Cooran, Mothar mountain
Ride report 16.5.2021 Pomona … Cooran … Return + Mothar Mountain Return.
Early morning bright blue skies, Volcanic mountains 😊. The sleepy town of Pomona was the departure point for yet another Bushranger adventure.
Both groups headed west of town to the base of MT Cooroora, home of “King of the Mountain” running race, before rolling along open fire tracks, windy single tracks up some rugged rocky ridges… spreading the mob a little but always regrouping to count the sheep. Non lost to the wilderness arriving in peaceful Cooran.
The group split to cater for shorter loop riders following a scenic but challenging route to the “Fen shui“ Bamboo patch before returning back to Pomona.. mystical designer photo attached of the Ashram in progress….great riding covering 28 km and 650m climbing.
The less sane “Hill tribe Gurus” headed North to the base of Mothar mt. Woondum NP, nice scenic rock pools with picnic area. Shady tracks and cool conditions made the 5km mega climb through amazing forests well worth the effort. Gravity activated for the fast decent to a spectacular “James M McKane Memorial lookout. This is a must visit site.. Just do it 😊 … Brake pad change needed before negotiating the angry Mothar track then back to Cooran & Pomona for Survival Coffee, tipple of Gin for some at the local distillery. 53km and 1330m climbing..
This Northern area of the Sunshine coast and Noosa trail network is a must explore area offering amazing views and wide range of Multi use tracks.
Next week’s ride Gympie @ Victory heights be there or may your wheels be Square 😊
