Good to know about the hobos off track at the start - I have taken my dog walking there on the dirt tracks many times, glad for the heads up to avoid it now.

[@Qldsea]

Watching your video is my way of relaxing when im feeling blue😊

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Thanks very much for letting me know.... I really appreciate you watching!

[@Dan-r214]

What a great ride! My wife and I stumbled across that little cemetery in Kingston some years ago. It was fascinating. Lots of local history and stories right there.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Thanks!! Yeah, I loved reading the history on that cemetery sign - very informative.

[@Graveyardshiftaus]

That’s why I started my cemetery channel. I enjoy visiting them. I’ll have to go to the one you went to one day when I’m down that area.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

A cemetery channel... very cool! Yeah, I love pioneer cemeteries... this one is only tiny but historically significant for the area.

When You Say Logan City, It Makes Me Think Of That Movie, Logan's Run. When I Was Building My House In Manado Indonesia, I lived in A Tent For 4 Months. Nice Ride.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Tent living for 4 months.... 4 of us lived in a tiny caravan for 12 months whilst I built our home 15 years ago. Memories...

Yes, Cemetories are very interesting, and many are supprisingly nice places to explore. Been exploring them a bit lately while researching family history! Some I have explored late at night

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Hope you haven't had any strange late night encounters😱

[@frodosadventures8757]

@@jelbuilderfilms no, but when the sprinklers at Chinchilla lawn cemetory splashed on a metal sign it freaked me out a bit, and a tall weed at the One Mile at Gympie was staying in the wind at the limit of my torchlight it did the same thing!

[@gnwtiling]

I went to school at browns stains high😂 and used to ride that bike path to school everyday, well we didn't go to school much most of our time was spent smoking weed down by the old scrubby creek😅

[@jelbuilderfilms]

😂

[@scwhatl]

Morbid video lol love the opening!

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Can't beat a good old Logan shopping trolley!

[@johnnywangcycles6410]

Awesome content mate, so glad you come up in my feed, love the map overlay and explanation cause I get lost with the map right in front of me😂 cheers, keep up the good work

[@stephenanderson2454]

Awesome video Jel! Saw a couple of my favourite spots and a few unexplored ones to add to my list 😃

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Thanks Steve... no place like local!! 👍👍

[@franciscocarballo941]

Nice video man! I live in Regents Park. It's a nice bike trail. I didn't know it goes all the way to greenbank, now I can extend my rides. You should do karawatha forest, especially the hidden mtb trails. Loved the vid!

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Cheers for the kudos. I've already done a ton of Karawatha Videos - including the hidden forbidden ones - but it might be time to revisit and do up some fresh vids. :)

[@tissuedinosaur1136]

Try the East/West Creek loop in Toowoomba. I know it's a bit of a drive..

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Thanks for the suggestion... one for the list next time we are up that way!

[@lostworldvalley]

I was riding out there on Labour day doing a loop from home ( Cornubia) to Karawatha, Berrinba wetlands, across to Waterford, Eden's Landing, Red Bridge then home. All on E bike of course! I'm familiar with all of these areas except for the Boronia bushland section which I might visit today if the rain passes early enough. Thanks for another great Scrubby video!

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Ebikes are great! Lol, we may have just missed one another!

[@michfra1551]

Am a new subscriber and catching up on all your videos. Thanks for the great content and very inspiring. I am thinking of getting off my ass and going for a ride. Would you recommend the bike you are riding in this video or is there another brand you prefer? Thanks mate!

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Cheers for the kudos.... this bike is a Merida E160 8000 2021 model. It's a tank and has served me well the last 3 years, but I feel it requires way too much maintenance - all of which I do myself. I can't say wholeheartedly that I recommend it, as it does make a creaking sound a lot when under load that I (and the bike shop) have been unable to fix - and the higher cassette gears need replacing way too much for my liking. I'll be getting rid of this one soon and looking to upgrade to a newer ebike.... but not sure what yet. However, I have a manual 2020 Cube Stereo 120 Dual Suspension that I've used for loads of riding, and I can't fault it.... rides great and has required minimal maintenance.

[@stuartpilling6190]

You said at the beginning of the trail that you plotted it out before your ride. Was that on Google Maps? Then, how do you transfer it to your Garmin? I have a Garmin SQ, which should do the same thing, I think. I've done some of that ride as part of a loop with a riding group. I must do that one soon.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

I'll do up some kind of a tutorial video on this soon.... but basically: 1. I use an app called MAPMAGIC.APP which is free, and brilliant for exporting your route to your watch. 2. I use one of their cycling maps (all free) which shows all the cycling routes anywhere in the world. 3. I plot out a route easily, and using the cycle map its easy to identify for example, this EAST WEST CYCLING ROUTE. Once I plotted out my course, it saves onto the MapMagic.App server automatically. 4. I select an option to Export the course to Garmin Connect. 5. Once in Garmin Connect, all I need to do is SYNC my watch to Garmin Connect which transfers the course to my Garmin watch. 6. On my watch, I select an activity called NAVIGATE, and then locate my course, and then select start. 7. The watch then shows me exactly where I need to ride to stay on course, and at the same time is tracking the GPX of my ride, and saves it all at the end. 8. At the end, my watch auto uploads my GPX to Strava for my personal stats, sharing, and records. You can use other apps instead of MapMagic.App to create routes, but transferring it to the Garmin watch requires a few other convoluted steps. I should say that my watch is a Garmin Fenix 5X, I'm not sure if the above steps work on other types of Garmin watches.... but if your watch can do some form of tracking or navigating, I'm sure it should work. Hope that kind of helps 👍👍

[@stuartpilling6190]

Thanks. I'll definitely look into that map magic. At the moment, all I use is Strava, which only logs rides.

[@paraminus]

Nice electric MTB what model is it?

[@jelbuilderfilms]

This one is the Merida 160 8000 2021 model.... time for an upgrade soon though, this one is requiring fixing too much lately.

[@GRYarisMal]

Love watching your videos and have been for quite a while. Your total disregard for the road rules when riding your bike does not set a very good example for others though.

[@dheath3697]

Red lights don't apply to casual cyclists 👍

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Yeah, unfortunately I agree, I don't set a very good example for road rules when on a bike. I'm so used to riding fast, taking shortcuts, jumping stuff, and simply riding irregular terrain. Sorry about that, but thanks heaps for watching though👍👍

that poor 12 yr old girl was just minding her own biz and a young men about 17 yrs old I think slashes her face about 20 times with a box cutter, he was arrested but didn't give a answer to cops on why he did this crime?
