Highlights:<\/p>\n
The picturesque riverside town of Bright is a three and half hour drive from Melbourne at the base of the Victorian Alps. <\/p>\n
Originally a gold mining town, these days it\u2019s the gateway to the ski fields, an outdoor adventure destination and somewhat of a mecca for cyclists.<\/p>\n
Attracting road, mountain and gravel riders of all levels, the most popular bike path is the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail – over 120kms of sealed track. <\/p>\n
Catriona jumped on an e-bike from Cyclepath Bright, and took on Stage 1, the flat 6 kilometres from Bright to Porepunkah. <\/p>\n
Soaking in alpine scenery and historic buildings, in no time she was crossing the Ovens River bridge which is a great place to spot native birds, fish, turtles and even platypus! It\u2019s a very child friendly route with playgrounds along the way and plenty of cafes to keep you fueled up.<\/p>\n
Sale e Pepe Cafe and Deli Porepunkah is a small family run business with an incredible selection of homemade Italian dishes and pastries. Catriona had the pumpkin gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce and said it was just like having a meal at your Nonna\u2019s house!<\/p>\n
Back in Bright and keeping with the cycling theme, Bright Velo is the perfect place to park your bike! <\/p>\n
Each room in the beautifully renovated heritage hotel is unique and named after a famous cyclist, ranging from luxurious honeymoon suites to a 3-bedroom family apartment. <\/p>\n
Bright Velo has an onsite restaurant, guest sitting room and bike storage with a maintenance station and laundry to get you back on the trails in top shape. <\/p>\n
They also organise a variety of all-inclusive cycling adventure tours.<\/p>\n
Whatever your passion; cycling, rockclimbing, skiing or wineries, the immaculately styled hotel is the ultimate retreat in Bright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Victoria\u2019s high country has long been a favourite holiday destination with beautiful valleys, snow-capped mountains and pristine rivers.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":778284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-778283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/778284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
