Saturday - Gaps Loop - 7am start
Ride the iconic Gaps Loop. Leave Bright in the early morning, head down the Great Alpine Road and turn right onto Happy Valley Road. Your first challenge of the day is the Rosewhite Gap. As you crank up the climb, don't forget to take in the majestic views of Mount Buffalo off to your right. Then enjoy the flowing descent into the lush Kiewa Valley. Stop at the Mount Bogong look out for a well earned drink in preparation for the Tawonga Gap climb. The ride begins at the Alpine Cycling Club Rooms on Coronation Ave Bright.
Sunday - Mount Hotham Ascent - 7am start
The Queen stage of the Bright Brewery Tour of Bright. Follow the Great Alpine Road as it winds lazily along the floor of the Ovens Valley into Harrietville. The final 30kms is the ascent of Mount Hotham. A climb that is the equal of many climbs in the French Alps. Once at the finish you will feel on top of the world. Ride begins at the Alpine Cycling Club Rooms on Coronation Ave Bright.
Ride Both!
Make it a solid weekend of riding and take in both stages.
