New to Brisbane

My husband & I are moving to the Valley in Brisbane and we are looking for good swimming/cycling/running groups to train with. We know there are plenty of groups around the area but aren’t sure which would be best for us. We’re both into Ironman distance and are quite competitive age groupers.

Any suggestions??

For Ironman the best club in Brisbane is the East Coast Cycos they have about 30+ race each year. Their coach may rub you the wrong way but they are generally serious and get a reasonable number of kond q each year. See aptriathlon.com (they have a forum on that site as well). Spike triathlon has the largest membership and are generally pretty friendly but long rides etc are only c 80km - usually sub groups are training for IM so you can join up with them.

If you post on transitions.com.au forum you will get a lot more info from a lot of people.

Thanks! I’m from Canada, so I only knew of ST. I’ll check out the Transitions forum.
We’re both loving Brissie. Can’t wait to get out for some rides!!

Boo hoo hoo! My parents live in Caloundra (1hr north of Brisbane) but I’m living in Vancouver, Canada - love it here but miss the beach and heat at times. Should be some great riding up through the hinterland west of Caloundra - Glasshouse Mtns etc - if you want a long beach run go to Wurtulla beach - they’ve put sand at one of the canal outlets so now that beach goes forever to Alexandra Headland!! Enjoy the lifestyle…

Hi

Hope you are enjoying Brissie :slight_smile:

Incase you are still looking for a house to rent, I sent you a PM with details of our house that we are renting while we are away for a couple of years in Denver, Co.

Have fun, enjoy the sun :slight_smile:
