I’ve been wanting to do the Gap Creek to Nebo ride for a while now, today was my lucky day. Initially the plan was to ride out to Lake Manchester but a late start and general sensibility took over so Nebo it was.
Riding on the single speed is pleasure and pain, I am constantly amazed at how well you can go with just one gear. The pain comes from not being able to take it easy on any climbs, even the easier ones … single speed = single speed.
It is hard to get lost on the ride but there are a few turns, I took the trusty GPS along just in case - check out the loop (from Woolloongabba nebo-ride-20080906-82.6km)
The destination was Cafe Boombala for a feed and rest.

The legs were a bit sore after sitting for a while and with a full tummy I decided to walk along the Boombala walking track through the rainforest. The walk links up with South Boundary Road after about 2.2km and offers a well made walking track with beautiful rainforest views.
Being a State Forest and all I didn’t give in to temptation and jump on the pedals.
All in all including the ride to/from home to Gap Creek I covered just under 90km in about 9 hours, time for some more carrot cake
