Some nice roads within Brisbane suburbs

Not everyone is experienced to ride a long distance, new riders may enjoy something close by to ride.There are a few nice little roads for riding scattered about the suburbs. I dont know alot however I will post up some and ask for further suggestions to be made. So feel free to add some comments.The most obvious that springs to mind is Mt Gravatt Lookout. A short but fun little climb up the

Suggested one day rides # 4

North - WestThe most popular ride from Brisbane is Mt Glorious that lies to the west of the city. The roads north and further west are often combined so I will make a couple of suggestions along these lines.First of all I dont ride Mt Glorious on a weekend as I dont want to be harrased by police - so ride at your own risk if you have a aftermarket muffler or under seat number plate etc.A short

Suggested one day rides #3 - North.

Northern HinterlandA great selection of very enjoyable motorbike roads lies within easy reach north of Brisbane.Many riders talk of rides on the northside from Dayboro. To get there I prefer to exit the city via Clear Mtn but there are other options and also depends where you are coming from.Look up the individual roads/areas in my other posts for maps or more exact details.Short ride options:To

Earplug Winner

The winners round one on the road were the Moldex Rockets.

Great motorbike roads #26

Stokers SidingThis needs a post by itself. I had mentioned the village of Stokers Siding before in my post about Burringbah but this little town offers a good ride in 3 directions.From Murwillumbah ride towards Uki, and just before you enter the township turn left towards the saw mill and there is a great scenic ride on this back road over to Stokers.Also from Murwillumbah you can ride south on

Suggested Rides #2 - South/West Loop.

The scenic and twisty Mt Lindsey road.From Brisbane there is a superb day ride south/west that you can do in two directions - does that make it two rides? - almost as its very different but equally great each way.Most common southern loop:Brisbane-Beaudesert-Mt Lindsey-Summerland Way-Kyogle-Uki-Muwillumbah-Currumbin Valley-Brisbane.This would be the quickest route. You can come back via Numinbah
