The Great East Rail Trail Ride is a fully supported three day cycle event along the 100 kilometre East Gippsland Rail Trail. This is a little Great Ride, with numbers limited to 130 people to ensure a splendid time is had by all.
With a daily riding distance between 30 and 40 kilometres (with extra sweat options provided for those who would like to ride further) this great ride is fabulous for families, new cyclists, old cyclists and those for whom cycling simply fills the intervals between eating and drinking.
Rail trails are for cyclists, walkers and horse riders only, so there will be no vehicular traffic along the route. Perfect for children and autophobes.
All meals and campsite accommodation is provided, with the option to upgrade to a cottage or pub and if you do not have a suitable bike you can hire a bike for the tour. Refer to website for further information.
