We’ll meet in Melbourne for transport, but it’s Horsham that will host our start and finish point on this 13-day cycling loop discovering Western Victoria (and a sliver of South Australia). Behind historic buildings and charming townships are the rich stories of a time gone by, just waiting for you to discover. Our overnight destinations are linked by the serene and tranquil web of quiet country roads and lanes that are common in this part of the state, making it one of the best cycling locations in Victoria - a real hidden gem. The riding is enhanced by the birdsong and diverse native flora and fauna, panoramic lookouts and enchanting waterfalls that you will discover on the way. The region is famous for the Grampians walking tracks and trails, but jumping on the bike you will find cycling here is just as rewarding as a Grampians walk. Together, we hear the call and listen to The Grampians, and other West Side stories…
