South Burnett Food Ambassador Jason Ford is organising a “Taste The Trail” cycling event<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kingaroy chef Jason Ford is combining two of the South Burnett’s great passions – cycling the rail trail and eating local cuisine – in a special event next month.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Food Ambassador has joined forces with Roberta Schablon, from The Saucy Fork, and South Burnett Regional Council for a “Taste The Trail” cycling tour.<\/p>\n

Fifty cyclists will gather at the Old Railway Station Building in O’Neill Square in Kingaroy at 8:00am on Saturday, June 15, to pedal off at 9:00am.<\/p>\n

They will then head off to Wondai with stops at Memerambi, Wooroolin and Tingoora along the way.<\/p>\n

Jason told southburnett.com.au\u00a0<\/strong>there would be “little discoveries” to tempt the cyclists at each stop.<\/p>\n

For example, at Wooroolin the riders will be given a Flavours of the South Burnett box to enjoy, a mini-version of one of the dishes which will be available later this year on the South Burnett stand at Regional Flavours at South Bank in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

At Tingoora, local food producers Taste of Tingoora will also have treats available, including rosella cordial.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Wondai, the riders will enjoy a pork belly soft taco, a “reimagining” of another one of the dishes which will be offered at Regional Flavours.<\/p>\n

“Because we are cycling, nothing that we will be serving will be heavy,” Jason said.<\/p>\n

“We want South Burnett residents to be able to experience what we are taking to South Bank with us.”<\/p>\n

Jason said the ride was “open to everyone, regardless of age or level of fitness”.<\/p>\n

“It will be a leisurely ride and we should arrive at Wondai about 1:00pm,” he said.<\/p>\n

There will be stalls set up in Coronation Park by local food producers to greet the riders, offering wine tastings and creating a “festive feel”.<\/p>\n

Jason has become a big fan of the South Burnett Rail Trail since he began cycling it last November.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He feels fitter and has lost an amazing 16 kilos.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great asset for the South Burnett. I see families on it cycling, people of all ages … walking dogs, pushing prams,” he said.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the “Taste The Trail” event are $49.99 (plus booking fee) which includes all food and a guide (BYO pushbike).<\/p>\n
