About this page

The 2009 Great Escapade returns to the South West of Australia. Western Australia here we come!

2009 Great Escapade - Western Australia
28 March - 5 April 2009

Take the challenge of a riding adventure. Cycle through the dramatic landscapes of Australia’s western coast, from the beachside wineries of Margaret River through state parks and country towns. Freewheel down into valleys, feel the oxygen  pumping on uphill ascents. Cool down with a swim in Big Brook Dam or settle down to watch a spectacular sunset with new friends. Check out the cycling route.
