Take some time to explore this one…
Stage One - Eyre to Clare
The Eyre Peninsula has to be one of South Australia’s best kept secrets. Quiet roads, a coastline of wonderful lakes, bays and beaches, villages, National Parks and famed fresh seafood, claimed by locals to be the best in the country. Add to this the renowned Clare Valley and you have a recipe for a perfect bicycle tour. If you have a sense of adventure and a thirst for discovery, the first stage on this tour is absolutely for you…
Stage Two - Vineyards and The Flinders
Quenching a thirst for discovery and wine, this stage is book-ended by two of SA’s (and Australia’s) best winery regions; the Clare Valley and the Barossa Valley. In between is the rare opportunity to experience the Flinders Ranges via bitumen roads - usually only included in mountain bike itineraries. The hospitality and accommodation offers the chance to enjoy a genuine outback experience in comfort and style.
A wonderful 3 weeks of exploring the best of South Australia.
