Michelle and Kirsty left us at Stones Corner and went back via the SE Freeway bikeway up to South Bank. Emma peeled off at Yeronga and headed back home from there.
Route: "the taxation hill loop"
The freeway route wasn't as straightforward as I was expecting. I should have looked a bit closer at the map but we worked it out. The bikeway sort of heads away from the freeway a bit and onto a couple of back streets. But it is signposted.
As for the big hill...Well the monster we were expecting turned out to be a not very scary one at all. More of a kitten, really. The length of the hill was quite long - maybe 1500m? Not sure but the incline was pretty gentle. You could feel you were were going up hill but it wasn't in the same league as others we've been doing. The joy of doing that taxation hill is flying back down that was SO MUCH FUN! Toohey Forest Park looked very interesting. Might have to look into doing a jaunt round there.
There was quite a big hill on the way back on Cracknell Road in Tarragindi and of course the Goat Track still leaves me wobbly and breathing heavily. My phone ran out of battery so I didn't end up recording my stats but having a peek at Bron's (don't you love Map my Ride?) I see that she came down the big hill at 29.25km/hr weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
