Interested in riding through the Snowy Mountains and Valleys, along the Murray River, to then get high in the Victorian Alps? Then why not join the Club for a weekend of sealed road (TS) riding, taking in stunning lookouts and scenery, as well as twisty, steep climbs and descents?

Outbound Friday (overnighting in Tallangatta), riding Saturday (overnighting in Omeo) and returning home on Sunday. Short on time? Then join the first leg to Adaminaby for coffee or come along for one night – your choice!
