A New Cycling Journey Across Australia

Ride & Seek Follows the Footsteps of a Famous Explorer Across Oz

Ride & Seek is thrilled to unveil a NEW cycling adventure from Sydney to Melbourne, following the footsteps of Polish explorer Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki, noted for his contributions to the exploration of Australia, particularly the Snowy Mountains and Tasmania.

This two-stage expedition covers 1,569 km by bicycle over 18-days, including some of Australia’s most iconic climbs and its highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko. “The Strzelecki Tour” is slated for November 27th – December 14th, 2020 or November 19th – December 6th, 2021 and starts at AU $10,750. For more info, visit https://www.rideandseek.com/tour/strzelecki-sydney-to-melbourne.

“We will follow Strzelecki’s journey into the Great Dividing Range through the Snowy Mountains to Melbourne,” said Ride & Seek Founder Dylan Reynolds. “We’ll spend a day in the skiing township of Thredbo NSW to climb Australia’s highest peak, which Strzelecki climbed and named Mt Kosciuszko in March 1840. Then we’ll head into bushranger county and along the Murray River before turning back into the mountains and summiting Mt. Hotham, Australia’s highest sealed road at 1,840 meters.”
