Fully Supported Tour on the Central West Cycling Trail
This beautiful 400km cycle loop that meanders through the backroads of Central West NSW is making a big name for itself and has become a popular addition to the cycle tourist’s bucket list. It takes in well-known historic towns like Mudgee, Gulgong, Wellington and Dubbo, as well as many smaller hamlets along the way. This diverse region is known for wheat, wool and wine and was also part of the 19th century gold rush.
The route has been designed to be a peaceful journey through the varied countryside on sealed and unsealed backroads. The locals, who have enthusiastically embraced the trail, are proudly welcoming cyclists to the region with old-fashioned hospitality. They have diversified their culinary offerings to cater to the new visitor group and menus now include healthy ‘cyclist food’ alongside traditional country pub-grub, wines and craft beers. As well as enjoying the trail, we make sure we don’t miss any of the off-bike attractions that the region is known for including Western Plains Zoo, Old Dubbo Gaol, Royal Flying Doctor Visitor Experience and Wellington Caves.
Let us take care of everything so you can relax, ride and soak up the beauty of the surroundings.

“I had wanted to ride the Central West Cycle Trail since it first opened in 2020 and AllTrails gave me the perfect way to do it. Jo and Richard are such wonderful hosts, with nothing being too much trouble. A great group of cyclists made it a wonderful way to see the Central West, the slow way. Many favourite experiences though the Goonoo State Forest would have to be the best, in particular the wild flowers everywhere including a large area of Flannel Flowers in full bloom. This was my first tour with AllTrails and will definitely not be my last!” Jane (NSW)
