Mountain biking is a great way to energise the mind and body and enjoy the great outdoors. Spend a day breathing fresh country air, exploring fantastic trails and testing your fitness in a small group of up to 8 riders.
Riders of all levels will enjoy the network of trails in two iconic locations. Travel out of Melbourne to a popular 17km of hand-built, easy/intermediate singletrack located within the Wombat State Forest. 2 hrs riding.  
Re-energise with lunch at Holgate’s Brewery and then head 1hr North towards Bendigo. This region has three great trail networks  to consider depending on ability; Harcourt is the new kid on the block with big jumps and berms and lots of technical riding while the trail networks in Bendigo and Castlemaine are more intermediate, flowing, bush trails. After 2 more hours of riding we return to Melbourne.

    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.

    2 hours • Admission ticket free

    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.

    2 hours • Admission ticket free
