Enjoy a hassle-free holiday

We’ve found the perfect balance for those who like to ride bikes and for those who would rather visit markets, art galleries, cafes, restaurants & wineries.

Your one job is to enjoy a hassle-free holiday. We’ll take care of everything else.

Ride Holidays cycling tours are achievable for anyone who rides a road bike as we offer multiple distances each day. Simply ride as far as you want. Think of the best day you’ve ever had on a bike and times that by 10!

Our trip starts in Melbourne before driving north for 5 nights, up to the Victoria Highlands – Arguably the best place to ride a bike in the whole of Australia. Here you can challenge yourself and ride all 5 iconic High-Country summits. Mt Buller, Buffalo, Hotham, Falls Creek & Tawonga Gap.

This tour, like all other Ride Holidays adventures, will provide a dedicated non-riders program with your own vehicle and guide. (Katrina Mills) Team Mac highlights include the Italian cooking class at the Pizzini Winery located along the famous Prosecco Road as well as the High-Country Maze gardens.

Our last 3 nights are spent on the Great Ocean Road in Torquay, where riders join 3500 friends cycling the Great Ocean and Otway Classic. It’s one of the best Fondo’s in the country and we can’t wait. There are 3 distances to choose from. 60, 145 and 204km.

Our journey finishes back in Melbourne. One of the world’s best cities and well worth an extra couple of days. Drinking coffee, wandering… maybe even a show or 2.
