BE AWARE OF

Terrain

  • Primarily sealed roads with good surface quality.
  • Winding sections, particularly on Glastonbury Road and around Woolooga.
  • Rolling hills and farmland landscapes with potential for livestock encounters.
  • Some potential for unsealed sections, especially closer to Lower Wonga and Gympie.

Technical difficulty

  • Moderate due to the winding roads and potential unsealed sections. Check road conditions before riding, as unsealed sections might be affected by recent weather.
  • Requires good handling skills and cautious navigation, especially on descents and curves.
  • A standard medium-sized motorcycle should handle the route well but be prepared to adjust speed and riding style on unsealed roads.
  • Carry a puncture repair kit and basic tools for minor roadside emergencies.

Traffic

  • Traffic is generally lighter on rural roads, but be aware of farm machinery and livestock, particularly on Glastonbury Road and smaller side roads.

Fuel

  • The route offers convenient petrol stations along the way. You can fill up before or after the ride.

Always remember, riders should be familiar with the local traffic laws and road conditions. Also check the weather before every ride, so you can be prepared for all conditions.
