The Taste The Trail cycling tour might have to become an annual event after the success of the inaugural outing.<\/p>\n

Ride host, local chef and South Burnett Food Ambassador Jason Ford, said it was originally going to be a one-off event but he had been blown away by its success.<\/p>\n

Jason joined forces with Roberta Schablon, from The Saucy Fork, and South Burnett Regional Council to organise the cycling tour.<\/p>\n

About 35 riders gathered at O’Neill Square in Kingaroy on June 15, pedalling off at 9:00am for a leisurely ride to Wondai.<\/p>\n

They stopped at various way stations along the route to sample some tasty South Burnett treats.<\/p>\n

At Proteco, on the outskirts of Kingaroy, owner Josh Gadischke prepared a table of tasters for the riders to try.<\/p>\n

Then it was off to Memerambi, where the cyclists stopped to enjoy dragonfruit ice blocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roberta prepared (by all accounts) a delicious morning tea for the stop at Wooroolin.<\/p>\n

Then at Tingoora, local small crop growers Cynthia and Rowly Bendall, from “A Taste Of Tingoora”, provided refreshing cups of rosella cordial plus the opportunity to try some farm-fresh produce.<\/p>\n

Lunch was ready when the riders rolled in to Wondai, pork belly wraps served in soft taco shells as well as glasses of wine from local cellardoors.<\/p>\n

It was the first public outing for these tacos, which will be the dish promoted by the South Burnett at the next\u00a0Regional Flavours event in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Sue Goddard, from Wooroolin, was impressed by the Taste The Trail ride.<\/p>\n

“It was a really leisurely and comfortable pace and everyone has been really friendly,” she said.<\/p>\n

Jason said the event had originally be planned as a “one-off” but he may now seriously have to reconsider this.<\/p>\n
