Surrounded by World Heritage-listed wilderness such as the Wolemi and the Gardens of Stone National Parks, the Capertee Valley is the world’s widest and longest enclosed valley – 1 kilometre wider than the Grand Canyon.
Entering the canyon by bike, the spectacular views of the impressive Pantoneys Crown and the rocky escarpment framing the canyon are ample reward for your pedalling efforts.
Along with the escarpment, the timeless beauty of the valley is punctuated by interesting rock formations. The area is recognised internationally as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and a habitat of the endangered Regent Honeyeater.
Discover Rylstone, famous for its gourmet food options, while the nearby vineyards offer the opportunity for the tasting of premium wines. The last leg of the cycle is along a quiet, undulating road through to Mudgee where the trip concludes.
At night stay in hand-picked premium B&B’s for two nights, and a boutique hotel in Mudgee. The accommodation is a highlight of the trip with friendly hosts and great views, ensuring cyclists are well looked after.
With your luggage transferred, all you need to do is pedal your e-bike, listen to the birdsong in the air and take in the outstanding scenery.
