bergmeister66 Posted 25March, 2017 Report Share Posted 25March, 2017 It's been a while since we had any drives in the South East Queensland area. Anyone interested in a regular (say monthly) run at to Mt Glorious - say meet up at The Gap Park n Ride carpark (at the start of the Mt Nebo Road), then head up to Mt Nebo, on to Mt Glorious then over the top and down the other side turning around at White Cedar Park then back up to Mt Glorious for a coffee and chat at Mt Glorious Cafe. Total driving time around 1hr 20min. Saturdays work better for me so I was thinking maybe the 3rd Saturday of the month meeting up at say 8.00am - any earlier and you get caught up with the cyclists. Adding a few Corners on some twisty roads to the popular Cars and Coffee format. Any interest? https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/the+gap+park+and+ride,+The+Gap,+Queensland/-27.4024683,152.8149825/Mount+Glorious/-27.3057229,152.6867137/Mount+Glorious,+Queensland/@-27.3694017,152.7471047,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m22!4m21!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b9156cba23c1b75:0x9864f436c6559664!2m2!1d152.9484315!2d-27.4445978!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b96aa701b95af93:0xf96a34e2bc15836b!2m2!1d152.7666667!2d-27.3333333!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b9401d51f9be241:0x502a35af3de9160!2m2!1d152.767222!2d-27.334722!3e0?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted 25March, 2017 Report Share Posted 25March, 2017 Good luck with finding a parking spot at the Mt Glorious Cafe on a Saturday morning! A great drive though, but better done midweek, when us retired fogies take advantage of the lower traffic for our cornering fix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergmeister66 Posted 28March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 28March, 2017 If we're going to make it a regular 3rd Saturday of the month thing, that will make it the 15th April which is Easter Saturday - does that work for everyone?Yes - agree that parking is better at Cloverlea Cottage or Elm Haus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
