• Wombat State Forest - Travel out of Melbourne to Woodend where the handmade trails in the Wombat State Forest will have you weaving through trees on a fairly easy circuit with some great challenges. This popular, well-established trail network is 17km long and takes us around 2 hours to complete.
• La Larr Ba Gauwa Park - A 35-minute journey up the Calder highway brings us to the township of Harcourt just outside of the gold mining township of Bendigo. Millions of dollars have been poured into a 34km network of Green, Blue and Black trails although most trails are for moderate or advanced riders. Built by \’Dirt Art\’, these groomed trails test your all of your skills and fitness while delivering big berms, big smiles and stunning views. We again spend a couple of hours here or for less experienced groups of riders we can use an easier hand-built trails network closer to Bendigo.

Mountain biking is an excellent activity to invigorate your mind and body while appreciating nature. Dedicate a day to inhaling the fresh air of the countryside, discovering amazing trails, and challenging your fitness alongside a small group of no more than 8 fellow riders. Cyclists of every skill level will find enjoyment in the trail networks spanning two iconic sites. Embark from Melbourne to Wombat State Forest’s well-loved 17km stretch of handcrafted, beginner-to-intermediate singletrack for 2 hours of riding. Rejuvenate with lunch at Holgate’s Brewery before launching 1 hour North towards Bendigo. This region presents three impressive trail networks, subject to proficiency; Harcourt is the newcomer, boasting large jumps, berms, and plenty of technical rides, whereas the trail networks in Bendigo and Castlemaine offer more intermediate, smooth, bush trails. After an additional 2 hours of cycling, we make our way back to Melbourne.
