Welcome to Sydney!
Sydney is the not only the oldest but is the largest city in Australia and is one of the world's most vibrant and famous cities. It's famed for the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.Check into your accommodation in the heart of the city and we will meet you at the Welcome Dinner. This will give you an opportunity to get to know your fellow riders on the tour. We will also go over the tour details including a review of the itinerary and safe group riding practices.
Day 1 – Sydney to Bathurst – 275 km (171 miles)
Today is our first ride day. We will meet you in the lobby of the hotel and load your luggage in the support vehicle. You will then board the shuttle to the bike hire office. Once everyone has completed their paperwork it's time to hit the road.Leaving Sydney, we will ride through the Blue Mountains using the second road to be constructed through the mountains, initially marked out in 1823, and which follows part of the traditional Indigenous Darug Peoples pathway network. Once over the mountains we will ride some interesting roads through the early New South Wales goldfields, stopping for a break in the oldest surviving gold rush town, before arriving in Bathurst.
Day 2 –Bathurst Ride Day – 371 km (231 miles)
No trip to Bathurst is complete without riding a lap of the Mount Panorama motor racing circuit, known as the spiritual home of Australian motor sport. The track is a public road so we need to stick to the speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour (37 miles per hour) but it still awesome to ride the 6.2 kilometre (3.8 miles) track. If there is not much traffic there we may be able to get a group photo lined up across the finish line! We will then have a look around the National Motor Racing Museum before taking off on our own lap around the central west of New South Wales.
Day 3 – Bathurst to Sydney – 200 km (124 miles)
On our final day we will ride over the highest point of the Blue Mountains, Mount Victoria, then stop at Echo Point in Katoomba. Here you will ride the world's steepest passenger railway and get to take in the breath-taking sights of the Three Sisters rock formation, the spectacular sandstone cliffs that rise out from the Jamison Valley, and Mount Solitary, the only mountain that sits within the valley.
Our final run down the mountain brings us to a wildlife park on the outskirts of Sydney where you will have a chance to meet some of Australia's native animals, including koalas, kangaroos, dingos, and the kookaburra then to Sydney where we will drop the bikes off and we will shuttle you back to the hotel in Sydney. The last activity of the tour is the Farewell Dinner where we can re-live our trip and exchange details with the new friends that we have just shared the road with for the last 3 days.
