Escape the city Melbourne - Weekend cycle retreat

Escape the city is foundered and managed by David Hall. David has extensive experience in running group activities in the area of recreation, sport, environment, self improvement and wellness. He has been running cycle trips out of Melbourne to various destinations over many years. Warburton (‘Warbo') is a regular favourite.

In 2009 David joins forces with various partners including Grange Yarra Valley to bring you four seasonal cycle retreats: There are two left for this year - the Spring cycle retreat on November 21/22 and 28/29. This will book out by October so book early to secure a place.

What to bring (all optional)Wet weather gear (just in case), water bottle, bike helmet, money for drinks and snacks, spare tube in case of a puncture. A small back pack or pannier for the above and other things you may need on the ride (sunscreen, hats, etc).

NB: All your meals are covered and your luggage will be carried for you. Once you are on the bike you won’t always have access to your luggage. Water is available regularly but you may wish to supplement this with other drinks along the way.

The pace of the ride is slow - with lots of long breaks. This trip is all about enjoying the journey, although you’ll love the destination too!

The all inclusive price includes:
Accommodation at the Grange Yarra Valley (shared with one other in double or twin room). All meals from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon (plenty of vegetarian options available). Support vehicle for luggage and weary riders, guidance along the historical Warburton rail trail, massage workshop, stretch class, meditation class. Use of facilities at the Grange including hot tub, volleyball, billiards, guided walk into Warburton including the famous house up the hill.
