Dirty Detour - Monkerai Gravel + More

Bring the kids, bring the dog and have a great weekend escape topped off with a bike ride from the beautiful Riverwood Downs in Monkerai NSW. Hidden in the foothills of the World Heritage listed Barrington Tops, just 2.5 hours North of Sydney.

With something for the whole family from camping by an open fire, luxury cabin accomodation, horse riding, walking trails, or spotting platypus in the pristine Upper Karuah River. Riders can challenge themselves on their choice of 20km, 50km or 90km courses, all finished off with a beverage and music around the open fire with a bunch of great people.
