Cycling in Victoria

My husband is a mountain biker and so participates in several of the mountain bike endurance races around the state. Fortunately for us, most of these places are only 2-3 hours out of Melbourne so easy to get to, but because he doesn’t need a long drive home after the races we usually choose to stay at a B&B the night before and after the race, so I get some time away too.

Some of those places include Beechworth, Bendigo, Fryerstown, Lysterfield, Officer, Werribee. Lysterfield is literally 40 mins drive from our home and is a popular place for practicing too – Graham and his mate Dave disappear there almost every weekend. Werribee is just over an hour’s drive so not too bad but the others will mean we’ll stay somewhere.

If you are planning to visit Melbourne and enjoy cycling or mountain bike riding you’ll find there are lanes for cyclists on many of the major roads and heaps of tracks in the countryside.
