For many travellers, thoughts of cycling trips conjure up only foreign images - French vineyards, Tuscan hills, Cuban beaches - but there are roads and trails just across the ditch that are just as enticing. <\/p>\n
Though the vast distances of the open Australian highway may not appeal, there are numerous bike-friendly options that beckon right across the country. Here's our pick of the best cycling trips. <\/p>\n
HIGH COUNTRY BREWERY TRAIL <\/p>\n
BEERS AND BIKES: On the High Country Brewery Trail. <\/p>\n
Three ingredients for a great cycling trip: a mountain bike, the trails ofVictoria's High Countryand a handful of craft breweries. <\/p>\n
In a line from Glenrowan to Mt Beauty, four local brewers have combined to produce a booklet detailing each of their favourite mountain bike rides, ranging from a scenic roll through the Warby Range, to a whirl around the Beechworth Mountain Bike Park, to a gentle spin along the river in Bright. A beer awaits at the end of every ride, of course. <\/p>\n
