The weekend emphasises self-guided cycling, with the CWC and local businesses providing destinations and events to cycle to. The program includes ‘pop up’ cafes in the bush, distillery tastings, local produce being used in the evening meal at the Mendooran Showground, architecture/heritage stroll, insight in the honey industry, a Sunday morning market at Blue Sky Cheese. The key get-together event after your day of self-guided cycling is the “Tastes of Mendooran”, starting at 5pm with platters on Saturday 4 May at the Showground BUY TICKET

Importantly the weekend is planned so that it caters for cyclists and non-cyclists. All welcome.
