What to expect
Two full days in the saddle, covering roughly 50km each day at an unhurried pace. The Murray to Mountains trail is dedicated cycling infrastructure—no cars, minimal gradient. Mornings you'll set off from your accommodation, stopping at cellar doors, farm stands and historic streetscapes to taste local produce and wine. Afternoons bring time to rest or explore towns like Myrtleford and Porepunkah on your own. Evenings you'll have a proper bed and a chance to compare notes with fellow riders over dinner.
This is unhurried sightseeing by bicycle. Your guide handles route navigation and local storytelling; the support crew manages logistics. Weather permitting, you'll ride; the tour operates rain or shine.
