Southern Flinders Ranges & Clare Valley

This new two-week cycling holiday provides you with the opportunity to explore and experience two very unique and historically rich areas of South Australia - The Southern Flinders Ranges and The Clare Valley.

In week one, think rugged stunning outback landscapes and in week two, rolling hills, fertile valleys, and lush green vineyards. And in between, the rich colonial agricultural and mining past that was once connected by the now abandoned railway lines.

Another highlight of this new tour is you will only have to pack and move your bags three times. To make your cycling holiday more relaxed we will be basing ourselves in Quorn for 5 nights and Watervale for 8 with a single night in between at Stone Hut.

A common request on some of our tours has been to provide self-contained accommodation so you have the choice to cook your own evening meals or, if you don’t wish to self-cater, go out to a restaurant, and this is what we have done for this tour. We have still scheduled a number of evening meals for the group throughout the tour and we have also provided opportunities for you to visit supermarkets and have your purchases transported back to our accommodation in the mini-bus. In Quorn, the supermarket and pubs are within walking distance of our accommodation. If you don’t wish to self-cater your evening meals while we’re in the Clare Valley, we’ll run a “courtesy bus” each evening to one of the local establishments.

Please note this tour uses a mix of sealed and gravel rail trails and sealed and gravel roads suitable for all bike types, as long as the bikes are fitted with tyres suitable for gravel surfaces.

We hope you can join us on this unforgettable cycling adventure through the Southern Flinders Ranges to the Clare Valley.
