From Discovery and CruisingTo Advanced Mountaineering Expedition
Rail Trail cycling trips provide a safe cycling experience along dedicated cycling paths. They are an extremely popular option for people looking to enjoy their first cycling trip as well as families thanks to being vehicle-free.
Upcycled from abandoned railway corridors, most Rail Trails have a gravel or dirt surface, and many are shared use with cyclists and horse riders as well.
Given they were once made for trains, they offer more gentle gradients and snake through spectacular countryside linking small country towns with larger regional areas. They cut through hills, under roads and cross gullies and creeks that otherwise would not be visited by most travellers.
Soaked with history, passing many old stations, cuttings and bridges that were originally made for the trains, Rail Trails have become popular with cyclists around the world. They have revitalised small towns who now welcome Rail Trail cyclists with warm hospitality at charming family owned accommodations, wineries, restaurants and galleries.
