We know that lots of you are itching to get back outside, back on the bike, and craving some interaction with other humans. What better way than with this last-minute bicycle tour? We have had this ‘pop-up’ tour designed and ready to go for a while now just waiting for COVID restrictions in Victoria to ease, allowing us to run tours once again. That day has now come…Exploring the Golden Triangle region of Victoria, this tour runs from Sat 5 Dec to Sat 12 Dec 2020.
Even though restrictions are easing, tour group numbers are still limited so book quick to secure your ‘ticket to ride’!
You deserve a nice surprise!
To continue with 2020’s theme of ‘what will tomorrow bring?’, the exact route and daily destinations will remain a mystery to be revealed at each nightly briefing.
