Tourism North East has launched a new website, giving cyclists a comprehensive guide to High Country cycling, covering road, mountain biking and recreational rail trails.
The site, ridehighcountry.com.au will inspire riders to travel to the High Country and access detailed information on cycling routes, trail mapping, bike hire and cycle touring companies.
Amber Gardner, CEO of Tourism North East says the dedicated ‘one-stop-shop’ website recognises the popularity of cycling in the region.
“The High Country has long been acknowledged a having the strongest cycle tourism credentials in the state, featuring three signature rail trails, the only internationally recognised mountain bike trails in the southern hemisphere, and the toughest and most popular cycling rides in the country.
“We’re now looking to unify this significant offering.”
The High Country is considered one of Australia’s leading cycling hotspots for beginners and experienced riders, offering more than 250km of safe, sealed off-road rail trails through vineyards, farmland and picturesque villages.
There are five mountain bike hubs at Bright, Mount Beauty, Beechworth/Yackandandah, Falls Creek and Mount Buller.
For the serious cyclist, there are also seven challenging alpine peaks to climb up and coast down.
