点评:We are a pair of Kiwis who love the cycle trails in NZ so were excited when we found the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail as an activity close to where we are based. I could not find any organisations that would organise transfers/bike hire and accommodation so had to figure this out myself, this meant that we nearly didn’t do this activity. However, once I sat down, looked at the map and the websites for the Trail, Out There Cycling and Bike Hire company, it was relatively easy to piece together the weekend. We only had the weekend and were not bike fit, so Day 1, travelled from North Brisbane to Moore, picked up bike and panniers and rode to Esk (approx 50km), stopping at Toogoolawa for lunch and staying at Esk Grand Hotel (which we would also recommend). Day 2, booked transfers with Out There Cycling to Yarraman and cycled to Moore (where we had left our car). This was a great option for us. The section from Yarraman to Moore was our favourite - through a bit more bush than farmland. Blackbutt was busy and a huge queue at the bakery so we missed out on that experience. After cycling the trails in NZ, the only thing that got a bit tiresome and to be prepared for, is that where there were rail bridges, you need to cycle down the dip and up the other side - the rail bridges have not been converted to cycle bridges - often these are steep and for me, being not cycle fit, with panniers on, I had to get off and push up these bits - so it would be great if resurrecting the bridges was on the agenda for improvements to the cycle trail. Overall a lovely two days - hopefully we will get back to do the last 68km at some stage.
翻译:我们是一对热爱新西兰自行车道的新西兰人,因此当我们发现布里斯班山谷铁路道是一项靠近我们所在地的活动时,我们感到很兴奋。我找不到任何可以组织接送/自行车租赁和住宿的组织,因此必须自己解决这个问题,这意味着我们几乎没有进行这项活动。然而,一旦我坐下来,查看了地图以及 Trail、Out There Cycling 和 Bike Hire 公司的网站,就相对容易地拼凑出周末的情况。我们只有周末,不适合骑自行车,所以第一天,从北布里斯班前往摩尔,拿起自行车和包,骑到埃斯克(约 50 公里),在 Toogoolawa 停下来吃午餐,然后住在埃斯克大酒店(我们在这家酒店)也会推荐)。第二天,通过 Out There Cycling 预订了前往亚拉曼 (Yarraman) 的接送服务,然后骑自行车前往摩尔 (Moore)(我们把车停在那里)。这对我们来说是一个很好的选择。从亚拉曼到摩尔的路段是我们最喜欢的——穿过的灌木丛比农田多一些。布莱克巴特很忙,面包店里排着长队,所以我们错过了这次经历。在新西兰骑完自行车后,唯一有点累并需要做好准备的是,在有铁路桥的地方,你需要骑车沿着斜坡向下,然后从另一侧向上 - 铁路桥还没有被改造成自行车桥 - 通常这些桥很陡,对我来说,不适合骑自行车,带着包,我必须下车并推起这些部件 - 因此,如果将恢复桥梁列入改善自行车道的议程中,那就太好了。总的来说,这是愉快的两天——希望我们能在某个阶段回到最后的 68 公里。
