After some 10 months it was time to ride the awesome roads to and from Springbrook (National Park) and they didn't disappoint ...amazing Vista's, Canyon lookouts and millions of Twisties.
After navigating lots of cars at Gateway to pick up children from a Youth sleepover we left Gateway in sunny weather with a few new riders joining in for our 220km twistie ride.
So off we went for 40km of slab to the Hope Island turn-off...then off to through Maudsland , Mount Nathan and Advance town to start climbing up to Springbrook....along the way getting a police escort till he pulled over :)
thanks for escort officer
After a losing half the group who thought a visit to Heinz Dam was in order (note...never follow a Harley:) we finally made our way up the ridge to Springbrook ....
and Scuttlebutt Cafe for a well deserved break.
then off to a few great lookout to enjoy spectacular views
those Band of bikers love the camera
Wow, the top picture looks like the Band Bikers from outer space have invaded:) We did meed a couple of lovely ladies from Tasmania who we grilled about the best of Tasmania given our 2017 roadtrip...they were a laugh...thought they may be cousins?:) From there we wound our way down a thousand twisties towards Mudgeeraba ... a challenge for those Harleys with wide boards.
Make sure you check out the video of the run down the mountain
Then can you believe...we found more twisties as we headed cross country and up Henry Roberts drive to Nth Tamborine and some well deserved lunch at "The Spice of Life".
a roller coaster for the Harley...and great views
You never know what you are going to come upon....a Spyder pulled over for Band of bikers :)
There is nothing like finishing a ride sharing some great food, good coffee ....up on the Mount with an awesome community... I love the Band of Bikers and we all get to come home safely with BIG smiles on our faces! check out the video below
