Meet at Corbould Park racecourse carpark, Pearce Ave. Caloundra 6.15 for 6.30am ride off.
Details:

We will form into 2 or 3 groups depending on numbers and ride to Boneyards via the culvert under the Bruce Highway, an advanced group will find plenty of tracks to challenge skills and fitness whilst a more social group or groups will get to sample the beautiful rainforest trails with names like Congo, Kokoda and Amazon.

Bring plenty of water ( as there are no facilities in boneyards) insect repellent, spare tube etc.

Coffee afterwards at Marlarkie in Caloundra following the ride for anyone interested.
