POSTPONED: AMSG Overnight Bikepacking: Beechworth to Eldorado
Feb

2027
Beechworth
06-02-2027 10:00 AM – 07-02-2027 2:00 PM
Hi all, due to a grim looking forecast for the weekend and a colder than average October we're postponing this event until February 2027!!  *** Fancy a little gravel, a night under the stars and an excellent excuse to give bikepacking a go? We’re heading off for a relaxed overnight ride from Beechworth to Eldorado, camping beside Reedy Creek, then looping back through Wooragee and along the rail trail on Sunday. First-timers and seasoned bikepackers are equally welcome. If you’re wondering what to bring or how to carry it, we’re happy to help with gear and advice beforehand. The plan We’ll leave the Shed in Bright at around 10am on Saturday and car-pool to Beechworth. From there, it’s about 25 km of lovely gravel and quiet farm roads to our campsite near Eldorado. There’s only around 342 m of climbing, with roughly 2–3 hours of riding, so we can take our time. After a night beside Reedy Creek, we’ll ride around 40 km back on Sunday via Woolshed Road, Wooragee and the rail trail into Beechworth. That’s approximately 650 m of climbing. We’ll head off after breakfast and aim to be back at the cars around lunchtime. A few things to know: The campsite is bike access only, so you’ll need to carry your overnight gear. Creek water will need to be filtered. There are no formal toilets—it’s a Leave No Trace bush bathroom setup. Come along for the ride, the campout, or simply the satisfaction of discovering you can fit an entire weekend on a bike. Let us know if you’re keen so we can sort out car-pooling!

Eurobin Creek Picnic Area
12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Come explore the trails of Mount Buffalo with us! We’re heading up to Mount Buffalo for a chilled winter adventure — 5km of fresh alpine air & stunning scenery. Never tried snowshoeing? Perfect. Love a relaxed hike? Also perfect. We’ll keep the pace cruisy so there’s time to soak it all in (and stop for snacks, obviously). Meet us at the Eurobin Creek Picnic Area at 12pm — we’ll wrap up around 3pm. Snowshoes are available to hire from Porepunkah Ski Hire (5 Nicholson St, Porepunkah). We’ll update you closer to the day on snow conditions, and if it’s looking light, we’ll swap the snowshoes for a scenic hike instead.  Everyone’s welcome — layer up, grab your beanie, and get ready for a fun afternoon in the mountains. As always, alpine weather can be unpredictable, so if conditions turn and we need to make any changes, we’ll keep everyone updated closer to the date. But for now, pop it in your diary!
