An artistic approach to the old Boggo Road Gaol

On this particular ride, we caught the train from Cleveland Station to Park Road Station, Dutton Park where the  infamous old prison"Boggo Road"stands .....

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boggo_Road_Gaol. At 30 km this is not a long ride but it does take in some nasty hills some long but mostly short and sharp so you need to have a reasonable amount of fitness unless you are willing to walk some of them.

Entrance ramp to the Eleanor Schonell Bridge crossing the Brisbane River.

The first part of the ride is to The Gap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gap,_Queensland, which is the half way point of the ride and at 15 km is an excellent stop for coffee and a snack. The route takes you past the Brisbane Botanic Gardens but you need a couple of hours to do these gardens justice and although it is possible to include a walk through, I have deliberately left it out of this ride in order to keep the ride within a reasonable time frame.

A nice collage of photos depicting the area the ride passes through and the quality of the paths.

Spaghetti Junction (not the official name) at Bowen Hills

Breakfast Creek.

The second half of the ride follows the Enoggera Creek Bike path which is an absolute delight to ride passsing through a number of well maintained parks and sporting fields, eventually turning into Breakfast Creek at Bowen Hills. It is then a matter of following the paths and cycling directions to Albion Station. To be sure always carry a detailed map, just in case a cycling sign or two are not there.
