Loopy Rail Trail Weekend
Event Information
About this Event
Ride a leisurely 80+km 'high-country' weekend loop of rail trail and back roads, from Blackbutt to Cooyar return. Dine and stay at the village pub with choice of rooms or camping (extra costs).
- Outbike provides the support bus which runs behind the last rider (and can carry your gear). NOTE - this is not an event with route signage, marshalls, riding guides or road-side refreshment stops. But the roads are well marked, junctions are minimal and you should be able to follow maps - or keep near people who can.
- If driving there, meet up in Blackbutt park at 1pm, near Blackbutt Bakery (we then carry your overnight gear).
- Earlier Noosa, Sunshine Coast & Caboolture Station rider+bike pick ups with our bus (extra cost).
- Saturday afternoon: ride on BVRT 18kms to Yarraman then 25kms back roads to Cooyar.
- Book pub rooms direct or camp with us near the pub (includes showers at pub).
- Sunday morning: ride 40kms via Mt Binga to Blackbutt.
- Afternoon transfers back to Caboolture, Sunshine Coast and Noosa with our bus.
