3 Great Gravel Rides of the Upper Hunter

These rural rides take you onto unpaved roads for at least ten kilometres of your route. They are ideally suited for riders of bikes that can go off-road, such as mountain bikes, touring bikes or endurance/gravel road bikes.  Challenge yourself on these country rides, recommended by local cycling enthusiasts for their beauty and challenges. Pack plenty of food, water and spare tubes for your journey as some of these roads can be quite remote.  Tell someone where you are going and when you are expected to be back.
