CycleDindi this autumn

CYCLEDINDI 23 will return for a seventh time in eight years (having missed out in 2020 due to COVID) on Saturday, April 1 and will again showcase the wonderfully scenic Great Victorian Rail Trail through the Shires of Murrindindi and Mansfield.

Organised by the Rotary Clubs of Yea and Alexandra with assistance from the Friends of the Great Victorian Rail Trail, CycleDindi 23 is a fully supported, family friendly bicycle ride.

You can start at Alexandra, Merton or Yea depending on which location is easier to access, where you would like to ride to and from and the distance you want to ride.

Entry prices remain the same as last year with adults at $45 and seniors at $35, regardless of the ride undertaken.

School age children remain just $10 with group discounts available on request.

Lunch is provided on private property at Cathkin by the Goulburn River and riders always enjoy this scenic and peaceful location.

There will be a coffee van on site and delicious hot damper to sample, plus entertainment while you rest.

Gentle gradients along much of the route make it suitable for most ages and fitness levels and the trail is a beautiful journey, traversing rolling hills with stunning views and including a ride through the historic Cheviot Tunnel.

There is fun to be had in the shearing shed, with a chance to view sheep dogs at work at a working farm (Nutfield) right on the rail trail route and includes a delicious home–made Devonshire tea (all included in the entry price).

For those not riding, there is the Yea Market to enjoy and the Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre to explore.

Registration is at the Yea Market and non–riders are welcome to visit Nutfield for morning tea and join in at lunch, both for a modest cost.

Directions available at Yea registration desk or email cycledindi23@gmail.com.

CycleDindi 23 is a major fundraiser to support a variety of youth programs in the communities of Yea, Alexandra and Mansfield.

Entry forms are available at Rotary websites www.yearotary.org.au or www.rotaryalexandra.org.au or follow CycleDindi 23 updates on Facebook.
