Day 2: Beechworth to Bright - Cycling Distance 69km
The Beechworth to Bright cycling route takes the group through a mix of settled land and impressive areas of natural beauty with striking views.

The journey is then alongside picturesque Barwidgee Creek all the way into Myrtleford.

After lunch and within view of several alpine peaks, you’ll cycle up the scenic Ovens Valley, close to the Ovens River, on the Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail. The group will stop at the Australian Pumpkin Seed Company, visit the delightful towns of Everton and Porepunkah, and then head onto Bright, one of Victoria’s most charming and bike-friendly villages.

Day 3: Bright
Bright has so much to offer that the group will be spending the entire day here. Enjoy the chance to wander through town, indulge in the local café and food culture, visit the boutique brewery, and immerse yourself in the town’s fascinating mining history.
If the group is feeling energetic, the guides will be on hand to offer support for a cycle either to the top of Mt Buffalo, one of Australia’s most satisfying alpine climbs, or an easier ride along the gorgeous Buckland Valley.

From Mt Buffalo you can take in the incredible rock formations of the magnificent Gorge with views over the Ovens Valley. There are also other shorter rides which may appeal.
