The shortest and bestest little 2-night bikepack!
This trip involves many cool things, including:
- The V-line
- Bikes
- Wangaratta
We'll be heading off on the 07:07AM V-Line for Wangaratta. There's 9 spaces on the train for bikes, so I guess that's the trip's capacity.
We'll ride from Wang station to Nug Nug reserve for the first night, along the Murray to Mountain Rail Trail (78km, 860m).
On the second day we'll get good views and some river time, plus a ride along Rose River Road, before stopping for the second night at Edi Campground (66km, 800m).
From here we'll head back to Wang (40km, 250m) with a view to catching the 13:44PM V-Line home again, leaving plenty of time for Wangaratta tourism!
This route will involve some elevation (1900m total) across 190km(ish), with a variety of surfaces to boot. As such this isn't a total beginner trip, and tyres 700c x 42 mm or greater are recommended for comfort. It's also strongly recommended that you bring not only 2 spare tubes, but a spare tyre if possible. You'll need space on board for overnight gear plus food and so forth. Please note panniers are available to rent!
Trip meeting will be the day before, so if you're feeling unsure please reach out to me (Rob) with any questions/gear hire.
