Great Vic Bike Ride Accommodation Package

What is the AllTrails Package?

Our accommodation and support package is purchased separately to your entry into the Great Vic Bike Ride.

We have been operating as the supplier of the Great Vic Bike Ride accommodation package since 2005. The ‘Great Vic’ is a legendary week-long cycling holiday where a few thousand riders camp in footy ovals and community parks as they discover a new part of Victoria every year. For those who love the event but prefer not to camp, and enjoy being a part of a more intimate group, we organise an accommodation package that becomes a ‘ride within a ride’, with all of the benefits of the amazing event, with the added comfort of the AllTrails package.

Extract from escape.com.au article: “The highlight of Rutherglen though, is spending two nights in a hotel on the AllTrails [package]. It’s hard to express the sheer unadulterated luxury of a couch, an airconditioner and a queen-size bed after a week of camping. While I pass up the chance for a complimentary massage, and I don’t need anything fixed by their mechanic, I do head out for dinner and drinks with the “luxury” riders. Gwyn Williams from Geelong, is on his ninth Great Vic with AllTrails. “I love the camaraderie,” he explains. “I normally go to camp for dinner and I still meet up with the same people I met the first year, who are camping.” But Gwynn won’t be camping any time soon. “No, we’ve talked about it, but after AllTrails it’d be very hard to go back.” (Escape, May 2019)
