Gloucester Scenic Cycle Tour (35 Kilometre)

 

Gloucester Scenic Cycle Tour.

Join us for a One day, 35-kilometre cycle loop around the beautiful Gloucester area.

Gloucester is a place where you can get totally lost in another world - you’ll likely see more cows than humans, as you cycle through the countryside, which unfolds around almost every corner of our ride.

The rolling hills and the natural geology rock mountains of the Buccan Buccans (the Bucketts Mountains) make the ride a scensory overload, especially after so much time spent in self isolation. Riding in the scenic foothills of Barrington Tops, you’ll see an array of productive farming valleys and high forested mountains, while you enjoy riding across the cool, crisp, fresh mountain streams - you’ll traverse 4 in all during your 35km ride.

Along the ride we will stop for a delicious homemade gourmet lunch, prepared by our staff at Aussie Bike or Hike.

One of the great things about our tours is the feeling of safety that you will have. You’ll be in a group, with your experienced cycling guide, Motorcycle World Endurance Champion, Alex Cudlin, and there will be a back up vehicle on stand by for rests or cycling breakdowns. That’s a great feeling of security that you have on our rides that you just can’t get riding on your own. 

So if exercise, fresh air, beautiful scenery, great food and meeting people who enjoy the same cycling experience as you is something that will help to break those isolation blues, book in to our next Gloucester Hills Cycle Bike Tour.
