KBUG Autumn Cycling Tour 2026

Cycling in AutumnThis year’s Kiama BUG Autumn Cycling Tour is heading west to visit the city of Orange, during the week commencing Monday 9th March 2026

There will be three days of riding….

  • Tuesday 10th March
  • Wednesday 11th March
  • Thursday 12th March

Our base for the trip will be the Colour City Caravan Park in Orange. While our ride routes are yet to be finalised, each ride will start from the Park.

We will be basing our rides around the rides listed on the Ride Orange website.

These rides will mostly be on public roads, on surfaces suitable for all types of bikes.

More specific information about each of our daily rides will be available in the Ride Information document below. (This document will become ‘live’ as planning progresses.)

Participating riders will need to organise their own accommodation, staying in the area from Monday 9th March, to be ready to roll on the Tuesday morning, when we will be leaving the Colour City Caravan Park at 8:00 am. 

If booking online at the Colour City Caravan Park, make a note that you will be staying with the Kiama Cycling Group.

Travel time from Kiama to Orange is around a 4-5 hours, via either the southern Goulburn/Crookwell/Trunkey Creek route, or the northern Campbelltown/Katoomba/Blue Mountains route. 

To assist in the organisation for the trip, please register at the link below, before Friday 27th February.

More discussion and planning will no doubt take place on our regular rides over the coming weeks.

High Country Rail Trail

High Country Rail TrailWhile many of us are familiar with the Victorian Rail Trails around Beechworth and Bright, the High Country Rail Trail takes you on a scenic journey through iconic Australian landscapes in the Upper Murray region.

Stretching over 80 kilometres from Wodonga, through Old Tallangatta and out to Shelley, the High Country Rail Trail hugs the shoreline of the majestic Lake Hume.

Ride back in time to the 1950s when the town of Tallangatta was relocated, and the old town flooded by Lake Hume. Cross the sparkling lake over the bright red 600 metre Sandy Creek Bridge to visit the new and old town sites. Pack your panniers with regional produce for a lakeside picnic at Ebden, Ludlow’s or Huon Reserve, or take a refreshing dip while you simply soak up the serenity.
