This ride is for the experienced, bold and energetic randonneur. The ride begins and ends at Landsborough. It includes a great deal of climbing, with two very steep climbs (Postman’s Track and the Obi Obi) that are unrideable in the wet due to the inevitability of rear wheel spin. There are also two very steep descents on gravel, one being 6 km long and the other being 2.6 km long. These two sections would be difficult to ride if the road surface was wet. The remainder of the ride is on sealed roads. The gravel sections do not require anything more than ordinary road tyres on an ordinary road bike. Food and water is available at many points along the route during daylight hours, with water also being available after hours at public facilities in Landsborough, Maleny, Montville, Palmwoods and Mooloolah.

Staying off the highway as much as possible whilst avoiding any major hills before Eungella Range, this ride is a beautiful roll. There's no way to disguise it, Eungella Range is a major climb. Only 4.5km, but up to 20% gradient and very little that's not uphill makes it very difficult. Fortunately there's plenty of time so you even a bit of walking should see you avoid cut off times. The views back over the Pioneer Valley are magnificent. Don't forget your camera. Once we're at the top, head on down to Broken River where you can catch your breath before some exploring then returning along the same route. You'll need to be wary of those cattle grids on the exhilarating roll back down the Mountain.Elevation: 1673 m
