SECOND STAGE OF MELBOURNE TO SYDNEY RIDE: From the the highest point in Australia, down through the Snowy Mountains, across rural landscapes and National Parks to Sydney's historic Botany Bay. Mt Kosciuszko is akin to Mt Everest - the highest peaks in their respective lands. Although dramatically different in height and shape, the two mountains share exciting names that conjure up images of exploration and achievement. Both were named after men in high esteem and we have the opportunity to celebrate and share the summit, marvel at the 360 degree views and ponder the man-made roads and nature's rivers below as they twirl their way through magnificent Snowy Mountains. All rivers run to the sea along the easiest route possible. We have chosen the most efficient machine possible and have added a few hills, a few towns and a few people to make this ride the most exciting way that one could ever imagine of traversing the magical green carpet that extends beyond the horizon. The crisp mountain air from melting snow will fill your lungs to capacity as you enjoy the natural wonder of propelling yourself on a bicycle with new-found friends from the highest point in Australia, Mt Kosciuszko, to the hustle and bustle of Sydney and its historic Botany Bay.
