Gravel & Nature

Once a bustling gold rush town, Eldorado is now home to bushwalking, historic sites, waterfalls and Victoria's smallest pub. Eldorado is famed for a different type of gold too - the "rolled gold" gravel roads.

Test yourself on the 65km Eldorado - Wangaratta Loop past historic gold rush landmarks and through forests. Pedal to Beechworth and back on the Eldorado - Beechworth Loop or explore classic bush landscapes on the intermediate Glenrowan Kelly Loop .

Rubber to the road

Explore rolling country vistas and the impressive Warby-Ovens National Park on the 56km Ryans/Taminick Loop . A little kicker over the Taminick Gap will get the legs and lungs firing.

The Oxley Tarrawingee Loop is an easy, flat, 37km ride packed with soothing pastoral views. It's a great beginners ride, or something to spin the legs out before tackling an epic ride tomorrow.
