Three great rides. Great food. Great company. A few cold ones. Plenty of laughs.
Event routes

The Victorian High Country is home to some of Australia's most iconic cycling roads, and we've handpicked three routes that showcase the very best of the region. Across the weekend you'll tackle legendary climbs, sweeping descents and quiet country roads that wind through some truly spectacular landscapes.
Each ride has been carefully planned to balance challenge and enjoyment, with support on hand throughout the day and plenty of opportunities to regroup, refuel and take in the views. Whether you're chasing a personal challenge or simply looking to enjoy great riding with great people, these routes deliver an unforgettable High Country experience.
The accommodation

The Colonial Motel Bright is the perfect basecamp for the Gruppetto High Country Tour. Located in the heart of Bright, it's just a short roll to the town's cafés, bakeries and favourite post-ride gathering spots.
Riders can choose from spacious King Suites or Family Suites, offering comfort and flexibility for solo travellers, couples and mates sharing. With secure bike storage, rider-friendly facilities, recently renovated rooms and a relaxed poolside pavilion, it's the ideal place to recover, refuel and relive each day's adventures.
After a big day in the saddle, there's nothing better than returning to a comfortable room, sharing stories from the road and enjoying everything Bright has to offer.
