Our Current Feature
Tour:
Murray to Mountains Rail Trail - Cycling in the
Victorian High Country! -
14 to 21 May 2010
Latest - video from the October 2009
Murray to Mountains tour - fun on the
Beechworth climb.
The Murray to Mountains (M2M) is Victoria's best
rail trail, and arguably the best in Australia. Bushranger Bikes
runs a 7 night/8 day adventure cycling tour to this fantastic region
of Australia taking in the delights of the North Eastern Victoria
high country, including 2 nights stay in both fantastic historic
Beechworth and beautiful Bright. This is the land of vineyards,
tobacco and hops and an abundance of local produce is waiting to be
sampled. We also include a day riding the fantastic Main Yarra
River trail which offers a great contrast to the M2M trail and
an opportunity to cycle right into vibrant Melbourne city. We stay
in high quality, boutique accommodation with an emphasis on
something different or historic, and the food is local and fantastic
- a trade mark of Bushranger Bikes tours.
This is Ned Kelly country and you can't explore it
with anyone better than Bushranger Bikes. One of our regular guides
is even a relative of a Kelly Gang member!
The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail and the
Yarra Trail are mostly fully bitumen surfaced (there are some
well graded gravel sections on the Yarra Trail) and the gradients
are kind, which makes for fantastic cycling. On the rail trail we
will cover a distance of just over 100KMs in two days of cycling
plus have a leisure day in Beechworth and Bright to
explore in and around these beautiful historic towns. Both towns
offer some fantastic scenery, historic buildings and fantastic
shopping and food - all easily accessible on foot and on the bike.
In Beechworth a highlight is riding the Beechworth Gorge road and
visiting local vineyards, whilst Bright offers trails beside the
Ovens River, great shopping, and a side trip up Mount Buffalo.
The final ride on this tour is a great adventure on the
bike paths following the Yarra River into vibrant
and cosmopolitan Melbourne city and is a real contrast to the
countryside and scenery of the Victorian high country.
In May the autumn colours are awesome and the scenery and
riding will be magic. We should be in Beechworth for the annual
Harvest Festival and there will be time to visit some of the award
winning vineyards and gourmet food producers along the way,
including a visit to Brown Brothers Winery at Milawa, and a chance
to check out the local olives, cheeses and mustards - food heaven!
The tour is a
Grade 2
(easy to intermediate)
and runs over eight easily paced days commencing in Wangaratta with
a pickup from the railway station on the afternoon of the 14th
of May. Usually everyone flies into, or organises their way to,
Melbourne and Bushranger organises the transport to Wangaratta by
train, with the tour finishing in Melbourne after riding the Main
Yarra Trail. We can assist with trains into the city or drops at the
airport on the morning of the 21st of May and other specific pickup
and drop arrangements can be discussed.
For those travelling from Brisbane, Bushranger can
transport your bike and some of your gear to and from Victoria in
the van and trailer to make your trip just a little easier.
Our tours to North Eastern Victoria and the Yarra are
simply magic!
