CYCLE TOURS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Be inspired with the leaders of cycle tours in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Locally based and operated, we offer a full range of mountain bike tours from Adelaide to the best parts of the Clare Valley, Wilpena Pound and Arkaroola. You travel in genuine small groups, 8 people maximum and have a fully supported ride with safety equipped four wheel drive and trailer to carry bikes. We’re cyclists ourselves and knowledgeable guides. We combine excellent accommodation, food with a local produce flavour and simply magic mountain bike trails including the famed Mawson Trail. Take in the contrasts as we tantalise your emotions leaving the city of Adelaide. Taste wine from the Clare Valley, an area becoming known internationally for high quality wine. Ride the most interesting parts of the Mawson Trail named after a man who mapped the geology of the Flinders Ranges and discovered ancient fossils.
