Ride Beechworth

RAIL TRAILS AND ROLLED GOLD

Historic Beechworth punches well above its weight in the food and drink scene, and even more so in cycling.

Perched atop a granite plateau surrounded by forests, vineyards and ryear-round cycling lies picturesque Beechworth. Rug up and go for a winter roll on the rail trail, take on technical granite at Beechworth MTB Park, send it on the Indigo Epic or explore bucket list gravel routes.

The Indigo Epic

The Indigo Epic trail is a 56km singletrack mountain biking trail connecting the historic towns of Beechworth and Yackandandah.

This year-round blue MTB trail throws up fun for newer intermediate to advanced cyclists alike, with flowing descents and undulating climbs. The helix loop design invites you to choose your own adventure with full length, shorter loop and point-to-point options.

Riding point to point? Organise a shuttle with The Bike Hire Company (open Sep-May).

Murray to Mountains Rail Trail

The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail offers spectacular and easy to ride sections of sealed, off-road riding past bushland, autumn leaves, wineries and more.

Feel the wind in your hair on the 15km descent from Beechworth to Everton Station – just remember what goes down must come up. Keep pedalling to Myrtleford or Bright for a multi-day adventure, or ride the Beechworth to Yackandandah trail for a cruisey 26km downhill roll and book a return shuttle with The Bike Hire Company (open Sep-May).
