I rode from the finish of the Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge to the train station, about 11 km according to my GPS. Fortunately the strong headwind in the last 20 km of the Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle Challenge was a tail wind to the train station, so it was a pretty easy ride. I would recommend trying to hook on the back of a bunch though because there are 70 km/h and 80 km/h zones to ride though, and it helps visibility if there are several of you on the road.

Train was jam packed with bicycles, so there was no hope of the inspectors moving through the train to check tickets
