This 6-day supported adventure is one of our signature multi-day cycling holidays, based at the historic Willow Springs Station — the perfect base for exploring the rugged ridgelines, ancient gorges and remote trails surrounding Wilpena Pound, Blinman and Rawnsley.

Each day offers a new ride through breath-taking scenery, from red-rock canyons to winding creek beds and open plains alive with wildlife. With vehicle support, great food, and comfortable outback accommodation, it’s the ultimate way to experience the Flinders Ranges on two wheels — without the heavy packs or logistics stress.

5 Days of Awesome Riding in the Flinders Ranges
The Flinders Ranges by bike loop takes 4 days to ride, with an average of 50km a day and a good level of fitness and mountain bike experience is strongly recommended. Whilst much of the trails are fairly straightforward, there are also sections that are technically more challenging, and novice riders will need to test themselves. You will need plenty of stamina, but a reasonably fit rider should have no problems. Vehicle support is also provided in places. Check the video to see what the riding is like!

Visit Melrose on the way home…..
We will also visit and ride at Melrose, a stunning town in the Southern Flinders Ranges, which has opened its doors and land to mountain bikers. We will explore the singletrack trails of this mecca of mountain biking to offer you another side to riding in this stunning area of Australia.

And enjoy beautiful accommodation along the way!
For most days, we will stay in a lovely refurbished Shearers Quarters with comfortable double/twin room accommodation, with all meals provided. In Melrose we stay in the super-bike friendly “Under the Mount” holiday units. No camping or roughing it needed, and certainly no swags!

Reviews From Happy Bikers

			
							Wonderful experience, will always be remembered. Ian and Andy provide a fabulous tour to the Flinders ranges. They are extremely friendly, relaxed tour guides who tailor the experience to the traveller’s needs and they are extremely responsible, organised, and ready to respond to any unexpected circumstance, be it fortuitous or challenging. The food is awesome, as is the accommodation. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has ever ridden bikes regularly, even if not a mountain bike.

							Ikara-Flinders Rangers by Bike The Escapegoat Flinders Rangers by Bike tour was a fantastic way to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Ikara-Flinders Ranges. The MTB ride takes you through private properties and National Park trails, allowing you to enjoy the landscape fully. The ride is approximately 200 km divided over 4 days, and so has a variety of terrain that you ride through, some can be challenging, but the guides know the area very well and are very helpful. I hired an electric mountain bike through Escape Goat which was great for the trip. Ian and Andy our guides were professional, organised, attentive, informative and good company. The accommodation provided was very comfortable, with all meals included. I recommend this holiday to anyone who likes outdoor activities and mountain bike riding.

All you need to do is turn up for your transport to the accommodation. Ian and Andy were great hosts and made sure everyday went smoothly. We had a small group of four and everyone had a great time. Absolutely recommended

							Epic Flinders Ranges Trip Experience! Riding the Flinders Ranges By Bike 200km trail has been something I’ve wanted to do for sometime …but organising the logistics in this remote part of South Australia had made it challenge. Escapegoat provided a very affordable opportunity to allow me the chance to do exactly what I wanted - explore the geological, cultural, natural and biodiverse beauty of the Flinders Ranges on my mountain bike. Ian and Andy are exceptional mountain bike guides. The experience on the trail was the focus and they knew their stuff. The way they designed the ride each day and looked after us throughout was nothing short of brilliant. As trip leaders, they had all the bases covered, from great time management, cooking hearty meals, providing critical bike parts, transferring us to and from the trail each day and organising our accommodation. All they key details were taken care of. The stop in to Melrose on the way home was the best way to end the trip! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

							Epic Flinders Ranges tour with Ian Ian's tour is the best way to do the Flinders Ranges multi-day ride. He has orchestrated the most effective way to see the highlights - with heinsight I'd not do it any other way!

							Flinders Ranges 5 Day MTB Just completed Escapegoat's Flinders Ranges MTB trip and can recommend the experience. A clever adaption of the FRBB route gave us a 4 day complete lap of the Ranges and still have comfortable accommodation each night at Willow Springs Station. Guides Ian and Deb combined a relaxed management style with experience to make sure the guests are given good information and different levels of MTB experience and skills are catered for. The stop off at Melrose and the MTB Park on the final day is a great way to finish the trip. This area is more demanding technically and we were given options to ensure all were on trails that suited. Job well done, thank you Escapegoat Adventures 🙂 Spectacular outback scenery with like minded people on MTB - a good recipe 🙂

							Flinders Ranges by Bike with Escapegoat Our group of 5 women, aged 50-61, had an unforgettable 5 days mountain biking the 200kms Flinders Ranges by Bike trail. We were all first time mountain bikers. Ian & Deb, Escapegoats in Chief, were outstanding. They were super organised, friendly & expert guides in the Flinders. Their bikes were expertly maintained & customized to our individual needs. Ian provided an electric mountain bike too, invaluable for fatigue beating & for less fit "seniors"! We stayed 4 nights at The Homestead, Willow Springs Station & the last night at Under the Mount, Melrose. Both wonderful accommodation, roomy & comfy. Transport by minivan was safe & comfortable too. Ian & Deb catered for us & we enjoyed relaxing evening meals with them reviewing highlights of the day & planning the next. Highly recommended. Tips: boost your general & aerobic fitness before the trip to get the most out of the experience; bring your own bike saddle, lean into the thrills!
