Stunning gravel roads meander through farmland, forest, wineries and rolling hills as we get off the beaten track to visit some of the highlights of north east Victoria.

Together we will ride a 3 day loop, starting and finishing in the foodie destination of Milawa, in the King Valley. The roads are quiet, the gradients (mostly) gentle and the scenery is stunning. Along the way we stop off at some of the touristic and foodie highlights of the region, indulging in regional produce, visiting micro-breweries, country pubs, cheese factories and wineries. We stay 2 nights in historic Beechworth, a gravel cyclist’s paradise, and enjoy the picture-perfect view, quiet roads, the historic township and the great regional food, wine and beers on offer.

This tour is supported with our HCWC vehicle, crew and the camaraderie of others. So grab your gravel bike or mountainbike (hardtail/29er best), an overnight bag, a sense of adventure and get ready to ride!
