The route using back roads that will be used by cyclists this weekend (Map: Outbike)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 16, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Motorists should keep an eye out this weekend for a group of cycling tourists who will be branching out from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail to explore some of the back roads around the Cooyar and Upper Yarraman areas.<\/p>\n

The 40 adult cyclists will be riding along the rail trail from Blackbutt to Yarraman on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

They will then head to Cooyar – where they’ll be staying overnight at the Cooyar Hotel – via Upper Yarraman and The Palms roads.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, the group will be heading back to Blackbutt, this time via Mt Binga, Nukku and the Crows Nest-Blackbutt roads.<\/p>\n

The tour has been organised by Noosa-based travel company Outbike \/ Arcadia Travel<\/a><\/strong>, which has been organising cycling tours in Australia and Europe since 2004.<\/p>\n

Outbike’s\u00a0Ralph Jackson said the average age of riders who take part in Outbike’s events is in their early 60s.<\/p>\n

The group will leave their cars at Blackbutt and all their gear will be carried on a bus accompanying the riders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“They will be adults, experienced riders and not racing,” Ralph said.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll have the bus following on the road sections with a rear sign to advise \u2018riders ahead\u2019.<\/p>\n

“This is the first of what we plan to be a series of weekend loop rides combining rail trails and back roads.”<\/p>\n

Ralph said Outbike had held rides in Victoria which linked up various rail trails, with riders staying overnight along the route.<\/p>\n

The company was looking at exploring similar opportunities in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
