Tour Itinerary
Arrive At Mount Lofty

We will pick you up in Central Adelaide and transport you to the summit of Mount Lofty, which at 710m is the highest point in the Mount Lofty Ranges, and offers stunning views of Adelaide, the Adelaide hills, and the plains below. From here it is downhill all the way back to Adelaide.
After a stop for photos, we will provide you with a good quality mountain bike and helmet, and make sure you are comfortable and happy with your bike.
Ride To Cleland Wildlife Park

From the start, it is a short ride though Cleland Conservation park to our first stop of the day, Cleland Wildlife park.
Say Hello To Kangaroos, Koalas And Emus

In Cleland Wildlife Park you will have a chance to wander at leisure and feed or pat kangaroos, wallabies, emus and many other native wildlife. You may even have the chance to pat a koala.
Here, we’ll have a little morning tea right here while you relax in the natural surrounds.
The 17km Downhill Back To Adelaide

After we leave the wildlife park, we get to enjoy the best part of the whole trip. The ride through Cleland Conservation Park is absolutely stunning. It’s all downhill, and has some fun rough sections, along with other nice flat and fast bits!
It’s also an absolute money back guarantee you will see wild koalas as we ride through the park!
After about 10km we drop out into the suburbs of Adelaide, and we then have a final spin along some quiet backstreets where you will see some lovely houses and suburban parks. Finally we will pop out into the Adelaide parklands at Victoria Park, where we get a great view back up to the summit of Mount Lofty, were we started 3 hours and 18 km ago!
