good news: I got to travel up the road to mt coot-tha near Brisbane today!
bad news: it was NOT on a bike. I'm visiting relatives, and have no "ride".
:cry:
Gonna hire a bike so we can take you places?
know any place near the Grange that'll rent bike and full gear for less than an arm and a leg?
Hey, have your relatives taken you through the new tunnel yet. Or shown you the Puzzle which is all the birdges and on and off ramps between the two tunnels?
Closest I would say is Morgan and Wacker at Newstead - but - I think they are a bit pricey at $290 a day http://www.morganandwacker.bmw.com.au/scripts/main.asp?PageID=22655 and http://www.morganandwacker.bmw.com.au/scripts/main.asp?PageID=22656&LEVEL=3
Could try a mob in Capalaba http://www.hirebikes.com.au - depending how long your relatives have lived in Brisbane they'll think it's half a world away or not too far at all.
I'd suggest thrillrider http://www.thrillrider.com.au/ - but - I've heard they have some questionable business operating procedures. The fellow we rode with from the UK had no dramas - but he didn't crash either, which is where the dramas really take place.
Try Ozmoto too http://www.ozmoto.com
Anyways. How long are you here for?
Would be great to take you down to our favourite cafe run.

I've been catching up on 9 years of missed family so been rather busy !
only day I'd be able to do anything is this Sunday
Bugger I'll be in stafford watching the tt movie
I'm working Saturday and Sunday so I'm out. That leaves Cods and possibly Twisted.
Might be able to meet for a coffee somewhere, without a ride. But I'm out on that for the weekend, maybe some of the others - if you had time, of course.
