Mt Glorious is, well, still Glorious

[MonsterDorf]

Had a weekend in Brissy and got to take out my TRX (sorry Duc still in Syd) and like the title suggests, I still think Glorious is just that.

Yes the RNP is nice and Putty/Bells are fun, but Glorious is just Glorious.

Met a couple of Monsters at the Cafe and they need help - in dire need of de-uddering and a traydectomy.

Now where did I put my hack saw?

Yep it is a great ride, as good as it gets and only a short distance from the CBD. The coffee at the top of the mount is pretty good too.
 I was up there myself tuesday last week, had one of those rides where it all just came together, you just gotta pick your times when there's less squids on the road. (same as anywhere now I guess).

note to self:

next time going to northern nsw, I need to take the bike and keep going to meet up with you fellas so you can show us the sights!

Does sound like an area that needs to be visited.
Yes the RNP is good, but my Fav is still Mac Pass, can't beat that run and you get a great pie at the end.

+1 on that Matty. I am biassed because it is in my back yard, but you have to ide a long way to better the pass.

Being a Wollongong boy myself I agree with your comments WRT Mc Pass. As you well know, the tight stuff is my thing.

The good news is that the road heading up to Glorious from Wyvenhoe is fast sweepers along the creek leading up to a pass a lot like Mc Pass then follows the ridge into the Gap. If you loop back via Samford Valley then back up that pass to Glorious then down the other side back to Wyvenhoe. You are then left with the choice of heading back home via Fernvale (and pies) or around Wyvenhoe and Summerset - so many choices, so little time.

Errr..why do I need to look out for cops?, being the good law abiding citizen that I am.

Had more near misses with squids, so they are higher on my priority list. 
The cops aren't likely to try and kill me, this isn't Victoria you know.

Must be time again soon for all us QLDs to get togeter for a squirt 

[loony888]
