Rail Trail Cycling Tours

Recurs monthly -

Using off road cycling paths, known as Rail Trails, we jump on and off our bikes sampling the local gourmet food and wine in the stunning Alpine valley region of Victoria.  It’s an all inclusive weekend, so all you need to do is enjoy the views, cycle a little, and sample the sumptuous local delights, all set amongst a gorgeous Alpine backdrop.  

2011 Tours Dates: Weekends 12/13 Feb and March 26/27.  If you have a group of 6 or more contact us to arrange your tailored trip.

 Firstly, you do not have to be a good rider or experienced in cycling to enjoy riding through northern Victoria on the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.  Whilst we do a bit of riding over the 2 days, a large portion of the ride is in fact downhill, deliberately of course.  Because we know you want a relaxing weekend with a little bit of activity, rather than training for a triathlon!   Below is a brief outline of your gourmet cycling weekend in northern Victoria along the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.  A full description of the ride can be provided simply by contacting us at Rail Trail Cycling Tours.

There are 2 itineraries both running over a weekend: 

  1. *Start in Beechworth & ride to Bright via the Brown Brothers winery. We use a bus over this weekend so it’s suited to those who don’t want too much riding.

  2. *Beechworth to Bright for those who like a touch more activity  with their indulgence!  The riding is easy and there is  a support vehicle if required. Having said that, no-one has ever required this.

Summary of the Weekend

The highlight for many is tasting the local gourmet delights in the King Valley and northern Victoria region, including Beechworth, Myrtleford, Gapsted and Bright. 

Starting in Beechworth on the Saturday after a bakery breakfast, we stop into at least 3 wineries, maybe 4 depending on time, with organised wine tasting and tours.  We have lunch amidst gorgeous surrounds, and pop into a traditional country pub in Everton for a lemon squash or beer.

Sunday, again after a hearty breakfast in Myrtleford, we visit 2 wineries, a nut farm and berry farm, lunch at a deer/stag farm (amazing views), and relax by the flowing Ovens River in delightful Bright, most likely with a famous Bright ice cream
