The Journey Ahead
Remote forest country, with the comfort of full support.
A small-group wilderness cycling experience for riders ready to step beyond smooth paths. Ride quiet forestry roads, gravel roads, old logging routes, grassy tracks and sections of sealed rural road. Expect climbs, uneven ground and rocky sections - not technical downhill mountain biking, but a genuine step beyond rail trail riding.
​
A guide rides with the group while the support vehicle meets riders through the day for check-ins, morning tea, lunch and practical support. Four days in the forests between Orbost, Bendoc, Delegate and the Errinundra plateau.
Highlights
The Errinundra old-growth forest and its towering Shining Gums
The Delegate Diversion Tunnel and local gold rush history
Mountain lookouts with sweeping views across the ranges
Wilsons Hut and other remote forest locations
Quiet forestry roads, gravel roads, old logging routes and mixed-surface tracks
Three nights at the historic Delegate Hotel
