Details - SUGGESTED ITINERARY

Spend one week in Melbourne - the cycling capital of Australia, and ride, eat, sleep like a local! This bike friendly city boasts picturesque bayside cycling routes, hundreds of kilometers of inner-city cycle paths and is surrounded by mountains perfect for longer rides or day-trips to get out of the city for hillier rides surrounded by picturesque bush and farmland.

This 6 day, 5 night “Tour de Melbourne” is the ultimate Melbourne cycling experience! We ride the best local rides - Beach Road along Port Phillip Bay, the Yarra Boulevard surrounded by gum trees and views of the city and the Capital City Trail - pedalling through inner Melbourne’s eclectic neighbourhoods.

We soak up the restaurant and cafe scene - enjoying Melbourne’s top cafes and hidden gems on our daily rides and popping in to visit the cycling concept stores and cafes - including Rapha and The Pedla in the heart of inner urban Melbourne.

We will spend two days cycling in the Yarra Valley - just an hour from central Melbourne. We will ride along stunning cycle paths through farmland & vineyards and conquer mountain climbs in the Australian bush. We will stay overnight in the cute country town of Warburton & indulge in local produce and paddock-to-plate dining.
