Love Cycling? Love Travelling? … Have you ever considered Cycle Touring? Cycle touring is hugely popular in many countries around the world, particularly in Europe and some Asian countries. Cycle tourists travel at a pace which is slower than cars, and faster than those walking. Cycle touring offers the opportunity to easily stop at points of interest and to enjoy the surrounding environment at a leisurely, non-competitive pace. The Cycle Touring Association of W.A. (CTA) arranges cycle tours of varying lengths – ranging from weekends, to several weeks, both within WA and interstate.
The CTA’s annual 9-day fully supported On Your Bike tour is held each year during Spring, and includes a mid-tour rest day. Luggage is carried from each overnight stay to the next. Breakfast and evening meals are provided. This year’s On Your Bike tour – Rivers of the Darling – (from Sat Oct 7 to Sun Oct 15) starts and ends in Perth, and travels in a clockwise direction, crossing many of the rivers that have their source in the Darling Ranges. During the tour, participants will ride through the picturesque Chittering, Avon, and Hotham River Valleys, all on quiet sealed roads (where possible).
Daily distances average 55kms (with the longest day being 72kms, and the shortest day, 35kms), with some undulating/rolling hills.
Entry Fees: $675.00 for current CTA members and First time On Your Bike tour participants $710.00 for non-CTA members
