ROUND 2 GYMPIE
Welcome to the beautiful
Gympie Region
There is so much to see in and around Gympie,
so why not make an adventure out of it?
Things to do in Gympie:
It’s not hard to step back in time to the gold mining days in Gympie. Gold
panning is a great excursion to be enjoyed by the whole family and provides
• Cooloola Rocks & Minerals
• Gympie Memorial Park and Gates
• Camelot Camel Dairies
Rainbow Beach
• Rainbow Beach holds some of the world’s natural wonders and boasts miles
of white sandy coast lines. Home to the phenomenon of natural coloured
sands, from which its name is derived, and the vast and impressive Carlo
Sand Blow, Rainbow Beach is Australia’s hidden treasure.
• Visit the towns of Dagun and Kandanga and taste homemade goodies,
including local wines and cheese.
Mary Valley
• With extensive forest trails that are perfect for bike riding, hiking, 4WDriving,
horse riding and photography, it’s truly an environmentalist’s heaven. Such
diversity is difficult to find elsewhere.
• Take yourself horse-riding or mountain biking through countless forest trails
offering peaceful views and challenging surrounds. Water pursuits will find
you playing in the crystal clear mountain water of creeks and rivers as you spy
platypus dashing for cover and birdlife enjoying their day.

Welcome Note from NXsports
I am pleased to welcome you all to Round 3 of the Queensland Road Team
Series hosted in the wonderful Gympie Region.
After Round 1 in Moreton Bay and Round 2 in Warwick, we hope to once
again bring an exciting brand of teams racing to Gympie and the surrounding
Gympie Region communities.
I would like to thank the Gympie Regional Council for their enthusiasm to
welcome the Queensland Road Team Series for the first time in Gympie.
Round 3 presents some serious hilly courses and we have chosen to take
advantage of the varied terrain for the road race and team time trial. Don’t
be fooled by the distances of the road race; those of you who raced last year
remember that this course packs a punch.
Following from Round 2’s Street Sprint, we are excited to bring Gympie’s CBD
activation Veloclimb on Saturday night. A 600m climb finishing at the railway
pub, this will be another exciting addition to the series.
Open road cycling is only possible with the assistance and support of the
Queensland Police Service. My thanks goes to the Queensland Police Service
in Gympie and the Department of Transport and Main Roads for their input in
the planning process and their role in keeping everyone safe throughout the
weekend.
Ride hard and keep safe,
Michael Crawley

ROAD RACE
Stage 1 – 25 September 2021
Gympie presents some very interesting and tough road race circuits.
Those who raced last time will recall that this course presents some
serious punches that will challenge the bunch.
The road race starts at the rural Pie Creek Community Hall turning
clockwise around the creek/residential circuit. The flats will allow
sprinters and teams to attack from the front, before tuning right out to
the Valley and Langshaw Hall which will certainly challenge the climbers.
At the hall make a u-turn back across the numerous hills on the winding
country roadway towards Gympie with two notable peaks.
The course is designed as loop with a QOM/KOM each lap near Crust
Road on the return to Gympie and a Sprint as you pass Pie Creek Hall
heading to Langshaw. This is a narrow section of roadway with many
blind corners and riders need to stay left.
The program has staggered starts to minimize resources and present the
local community with exciting racing. The Women QRTS will closely
follow the Masters, then the QRTS Men will race into the afternoon.
*All meetings take place at the start line.
