Ride the Great Victorian Rail Trail for fun and fitness
Tour de Trail returns in 2024. Cyclists of all ages are invited to ride the Great Victorian Rail Trail (GVRT) for fun and fitness on Sunday, March 3. Starting and finishing in Mansfield, this out-and-back ride provides a choice of two destinations; Maindample (28kms return) or Bonnie Doon (44kms return) which includes riding across the iconic Lake Eildon rail trail bridge. Experience beautiful views with gradual gradients and a traffic free environment.
Organised by the ‘Friends of the GVRT’ the entry fee includes refreshments (tea/coffee/cold drinks and muffin) from a coffee van at either turn around location before returning to Mansfield where you will be treated to a sausage sizzle by one of our community groups.
There are also some great prizes to be won with the raffle held in conjunction with the days event to help raise funds for the Friends of the GVRT volunteer activities.
The event is sponsored by the Bendigo Bank, Mansfield and District. On-site activities at the Mansfield Station precinct will include live music, a coffee van plus some displays by local tourism operators.
How much:
- Individual (adults over 18-years) $20.00
