The ride will start from the BBQ/Picnic area overlooking the river at Porepunkah. (If you arrive early, you can grab a coffee at the Rail Trail Cafe). We follow the trail through Bright to link up with the Great Valley Trail to finish at Harrietville where we’ll have lunch beside the river. ‘Morrie’s’ Cafe should be open so you can buy lunch and an ice-cream there, or you can bring your own.
There is an elevation gain of 124m between Germantown and Harrietville, and it’s about a 200m elevation gain in total between Bright and Harrietville, which means it’s all downhill on the way back!
The trail is sealed and is suitable for hybrids and road bikes. Just make sure you tyres are pumped up beforehand, and you bring a spare tube. Also bring plenty of water and sunscreen.
