What to expect

1

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.

Duration 120 minutes

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.

Duration 120 minutes
