The third stage (Stage 11 of Australia Ride) takes us from Adelaide on a wonderful journey by bike through forests, fern gullies, vineyards and spectacular coastline of the Fleurieu Peninsula and Encounter Bay. These pockets of history are full of heritage listed buildings and indigenous culture, the countryside adorned with golden colours in Autumn. Granite islands and The Coorong National Park are thriving natural bird habitats and fishing villages are the catch of the day. Local community groups suppress our midday hunger as we pedal the limestone coastline and discover another town another time... The 'Eight' Apostles will guide you along the internationally renowned Great Ocean Road, winding around beaches that are popular resorts and home of the surfing revolution. We tend to your daily needs and spoil you with choice accommodation. Relax in the evenings with a briefing and meal and a great celebration on the final night. You will be taking the quiet bitumen roads, away from heavy traffic for as much of the distance as possible. This exciting ride will finish in Melbourne. The All Trails team look forward to providing you with the right balance of exertion and relaxation. Are You Ready for the Challenge? Join us on one stage, or do the lot.
