Macedon is a great introduction to Victoria's excellent gravel riding: Rolling hills, hard-packed dirt, quiet roads, beautiful trees, and the occasional kangaroo.

The route and the ride

About 50km of gravel roads and some rolling hills. There is a 5km gradual descent to the finish line. Link to route here.
A bike with moderately thick tyres (~32mm) is advised.
- Need to borrow a bike? We have one small and one medium gravel bike to lend. Get in touch to discuss!
This is a social, no-drop ride as always, which means we ride as a group and no one gets left behind!

Logistics:

Meeting options:
- 8:45am at Southern Cross to take the train together to Macedon (on the Bendigo Line)
- 10am at Macedon Station
The ride will finish at approx 3pm, but due to the nature of social group rides, please plan to be flexible. Trains back to Southern Cross are hourly.
This ride is weather dependent. If the weather is bad, we will make a call two days in advance to reschedule.
Our ride guides do their best to plan safe routes that keep you off roads, but you are responsible for your own safety.

Bring:

Your bike and helmet.
Water, sunscreen, snacks
Myki
Packed lunch

Is there a fee?

Our rides are free and 100% volunteer-run. But if you'd like to make a contribution to keep us going, you can do so in the check-out page.

Signed up but can't come anymore?

We get that things can come up, but please cancel your ticket or text Ashan at +61 401 925 590 as soon as you can so that we can give your spot to someone else.
There is often a waitlist and the sooner you can cancel, the better :)

Questions?

This ride will be guided by Ashan and Des. If you have Qs, please ask in the group chat or message privately.

This ride is taking place on Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
