organises cycling and adventure holidays with you in mind -
real adventures for real people.
My Backcountry tours
are designed to provide an action-packed and fun cycling holiday
which caters for the novice to the experienced rider.
I
organise a
range of fully supported tour packages to magic locations such as the
Tweed, Gold and Sunshine Coasts - Southeast Queensland, the Victorian High Country in
South Eastern Australia and the best cycling location in the world – New
Zealand. My specialty is back country and off-road cycling,
including whale, rail and wine trails,
that take in awesome scenery and locations, regional history and a
chance to meet the locals and sample great wine and food.
My tours are
something special - small group size (6 to 8 riders), backcountry
exploration,
fantastic accommodation and food, fully organised, cater for all levels of
cycling ability and offer all the benefits that come from my
detailed knowledge of urban and remote Australia and New Zealand – something you
can’t get from a guidebook.

Southeast Queensland Tours
Sunshine Coast to the
Tweed Coast - The
Whale Trail
TM
Tour.......
This exclusive Bushranger Bikes 7 days/6 nights tour itinerary has been designed to take
full advantage of arguably some of the best coastal cycling,
scenery and beaches in Australia with iconic locations such
as
Noosa Heads, Mooloolabah, the Gold Coast
and Fingal.
Predominantly the riding will be on fantastic coastal
bikeways with some short road sections and in this regions
perfect cycling seasons - Autumn/Winter/Spring - expect
magic cycling looking out over the coast with the added
attraction of some whale spotting. The ride over the
Brisbane River via the Gateway Bridge will be one of the many highlights.
The gradient is mainly flat, the ride distances each day aren’t massive but from experience I
know that groups will want plenty of time to stop and take
in the awesome coastal scenery, snap those special photos and enjoy the cafes and
food along the way, so each day will be a full day.
There are
also fantastic
'off the bike' adventures like Noosa Heads National Park,
the Glasshouse Mountains, Montville, Noosa shops & cafes, and Brisbane's CBD,
Southbank and gardens so this will be one very memorable
experience - make sure you are on board!
Category
is bike path/road.
The tour is a
Grade 2
- easy to intermediate. Rekindle your
dreams.......
