You haven't been on a bike for some time but it is a nice day to be outdoors and you are determined to do something about those extra kilograms gained over the last few months. This 22 km return ride may be just what you are looking for. Be warned though, there are a couple of small hills to ride up but you can do it.

Did you know that cycling is the third most popular recreational activity in the UK?


Recreational cycling in pretty areas such as Kedron Brook can help you to reduce stress and this in turn may help your overall fitness and health.....try it.

This area is a favorite for walkers also. It's as simple as finding an area suitable to park the car, the kids can ride and you can walk or alternatively, the whole family can either walk or ride. Check the embedded map and find an area which suits you.

ENOGGERA CREEK RIDE, QLD. 33 km

You may wonder why I am writing a blog listing maps. In this fair country of ours, the sun is so bright, that it is almost impossible to read a map on a smartphone whilst riding, so by giving you the choice of having the map and directions on your phone or in hard copy should make sense, particularly when you have the added advantage of the map being embedded.

Our Pedaling Pathfinders try to make this ride at least twice a year.

CLEVELAND LOOP via CAPALABA & WYNNUM, QLD. 55 km



For an embedded map of this ride, please open the following link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7014336

As with everything in life, a change is welcome otherwise everything becomes boring and mundane, therefore I am about to show you an alternative route from Cleveland to Wynnum. This will entail riding through some interesting forested areas as well as back streets in the burbs combined with crossing low lying areas via a boardwalk and cruising by the bay. In a sense, it is almost like riding the 'Cleveland  to Capalaba via Wellington Point route' and joining it up with a return ride from Wellington Point to Wynnum.

CLEVELAND LOOP via Capalaba & Wellington Point, Qld. 35 KM





If you are looking for a ride, a little out of the ordinary and you want to incorporate the coolness of the forest with a gentle ride along the shoreline of Moreton Bay....and....if on a hot summer's day you fancy a dip in the briny....and....you're not bothered about being stung by jelly fish or eaten whole by a hungry shark....and....I nearly forgot the lurking snake in the forest just salivating at the mere thought of sinking his poisonous fangs into an unsuspecting cyclist's leg, then this may be the ride for you. Mind you, I have been for a dip at Wellington Point without being either eaten or stung and I have ridden through the forests many times without being sprung upon by a snake although I have seen a number of them. Take the chance, the ride is worth it.

These are some of our fiercest animals. Watch out for the 'Drop Bears', they're not so cuddly when they forget to hold on and fall out of the tree right on top of you as you are cycling beneath them.



As you can see by the photographs, it is well worth the risk and think how adventurous you are with all of those nasties lurking.

Cheers and safe riding,

This principal ride in the Redlands is recreational and apart from relaxation, offers wonderful opportunities to sate the photographer in you as there are lots of opportunities to snap that magical moment in time.
