The Ride

Starting in Bright, the wide, bitumen path winds through farmland, bushland, and quiet rural landscapes. You’ll enjoy a mostly flat ride, with plenty of spots to pause and take in the views of Mount Buffalo’s dramatic granite cliffs. The trail is well signposted and ideal for families, casual riders, or anyone looking for an easy cycling adventure.
