Ride for Literacy


It was a great opportunity for another ride and a great cause to support so around 11 Band of bikers joined with other groups to see around 30 bikes make their way to Toowoomba and a great reception at the Sth TWB baptist for lunch.
The riders consolidated at Kallangur Macca's then meandered through Dayboro , up and over Mt Mee...to Esk for Morning tea then up the magic Esk-Hampton Rd to Toowomba.



So with everyone assembled , a coffee in our belly, route instructions instructions and a prayer offered up we headed off through Petrie and Dayboro to the twisties of Mt Mee.
all lined up leaning into the wind

running along D'guidar Highway

the road flattens out as we head for Esk

then to Esk for much anticipated morning tea & community at the delightful rectory.

It was then a few went back to Brisbane whilst the rest of us enjoyed the climb up to Toowoomba on the wonderful Esk-Hampton Road.

We made Toowomba with the wind rising and the temperature falling making riding a little challenging ...but we were greeted with a wonderfully warm welcome and scrumptious food at the South Toowoomba Baptist  ....oh yes and the Toowoomba Mini club and some classic bikes joined us to make it a great day for a great cause.
lots of great sights, bikes & Characters at the ride for literacy
You know there were all sorts of bikers on the ride and some actually say that they look like their dogs but a biker who is a dog??
