Going to Cairns for a week - take the roadie or MTB...?

If you take the mtb you've got Smithfield, Atherton, Mareeba to give you plenty of trails.
However, there's plenty of great roads too. Copperlode dam, port Douglas, gillies highway, and the tablelands all offer great roads to cycle.

Ultimately, take whatever you prefer riding.

This is a silly question on a MTB forum ....

If you have the transport and time then take the MTB obviously.

Alot of the roadies up there tend to go out very early or very late. There are some good roads up there, but alot of them have alot of heavy traffic and as a whole the motorists are not the most cycle friendly. It is getting better since the Ironman Tri has started coming to town. I would take the MTB everytime, ride up some of the ranges and bomb down the trails.
