What you'll see

We specialise in servicing the 42km Cromwell to Clyde Lake Dunstan Trail with return shuttle. Not to mention an experience you won't forget!

The Lake Dunstan Trail links the townships of Cromwell and Clyde which is spectacular and offers cyclists an easy (14km's grade 1-2) from our shop at the Cromwell Heritage Precinct to Cornish Point, then from Cornish Point via the Cromwell Gorge to Clyde (28km's grade 2 with parts of grade 3, with big switch-back climbs and narrow sections) for this reason we highly recommend that you are an experienced cyclist for safety reasons.

The unique trail follows Lake Dunstan and passes vineyards and rugged mountains before heading into the dramatic Cromwell Gorge.

Impressive engineering has made the trail possible by bolting cantilever platforms onto sheer rock faces that are too steep to carve a pathway. There's even a coffee boat and burger boat for refreshments on the way.

Our Bike Hire Fleet includes our own custom-built high spec LLEVANT Hardtail E-Mountain Bikes, featuring the powerful but intuitive Shimano E8000 E-Mountain bike system with Shimano 11 speed gears, Rockshox 120mm Travel Front Fork and Dropper Seat Posts to make your Lake Dunstan Trail ride a lot more enjoyable, safer and comfortable.

We also have the awesome Trek Roscoe 7 mountain bikes these make for a smoother, easier ride on the trail with their 27+ wheels and 2.8 tyres.

All bikes hired include helmets, rear carrier pannier bags with one person in each group receiving an emergency kit with spare tube, multi tool, tyre levers, quick link chain tool, new chain and first aid kit.
