“A big thank you to all at BQ for making Cycle Qld 2011 an experience to remember. For a first timer I didn't know what to expect but was amazed at how smoothly everything went. Lorraine Statham, QLD
“Thanks for a great ride - well done! Cycle Queensland set a high standard for others to follow. It was worth coming from California just for the ride!” Craig Walker, USA
“I would like to congratulate BQ on an excellent 9 day event. The food was great, the company great and on the whole I don't think you could have done any better. Leonie Balsley, TAS
“I have a "bung" left knee and only took up bike riding to enable me to exercise without destroying my knee altogether, I was really worried about whether or not my knee would make the ride. I have proved to myself that bicycle riding is certainly good for "bung" knees…” Jean Cunningham (aged 60 years)
“Overall a wonderful experience. My first but not my last” Anon survey response.
