Noosa River Warm Up The ride starts along the river on Gympie Terrace and Hilton Terrace, past the jetties, boat hire and riverside cafes of Noosaville and into Tewantin. Flat, sealed and scenic, the easiest start a road ride can have.
Ride the Tri Course This loop follows sections of the Noosa Triathlon bike course, so you're on the same roads the race field takes on every year. Ride it as a steady tour or chase your own split.
Garmin Hill Gyndier Drive is a 3 km climb on the original Cooroy to Noosa road. Noosa Triathlon racers know it as Garmin Hill, and it's the part of the course everyone talks about.
Hinterland Farmland Over the top, Cooroy Noosa Road rolls west through green farmland and forest, past the back of Lake Macdonald. Wide views, and a world away from the river you started on.
The Run Home Turn at the Maple Street roundabout in Cooroy's main street, with cafes right there for a coffee stop. Then comes the reward: the descent off the range into Noosa, and an easy spin home via Beckmans Road.
2-for-1 at Land & Sea The ride finishes at the shop, directly across the road from Land & Sea Brewery. Grab a 2-for-1 drinks voucher from us on the way out. Trading hours vary, so check before you ride.

Ride Overview

From the shop the route heads to the Noosa River at Noosaville and follows it along Gympie Terrace and Hilton Terrace into Tewantin. It’s flat and sealed, an easy warm up with the water beside you.

From Tewantin you head west on Cooroy Noosa Road, riding sections of the Noosa Triathlon bike course. The climbing comes early: 3 km up Gyndier Drive to Sunrise Road, the hill racers know as Garmin Hill. Over the top the road rolls through hinterland farmland, past the back of Lake Macdonald, to the turnaround at the Maple Street roundabout in Cooroy’s main street, right by the cafes.

The return runs back down the range, so keep your speed in check, then Beckmans Road brings you home to the shop. It’s 41 km with about 340 m of climbing, all on sealed roads with narrow shoulders in places. This is a road ride for confident riders. We supply a premium road bike, or a gravel bike if you prefer.
