Curve Cycling is a bike manufacturer based in Melbourne. They encourage bikepacking and adventure cycling.

Curve has an annual gravel ride called Curve Border Run in March. The ride started in 2024 and usually attracts about 100 riders, all self supported. The ride starts at 4am at Melbourne GPO and travels to the NSW border at Echuca (240km). Their tradition is to touch the border sign at the Echuca bridge when they arrive “interstate”.

The Curve Border Run route passes through Heathcote. Then it uses some of the same roads as the Earth Rivers and Ironbark to get to Echuca. Some riders may want to use this route to get from Melbourne to the Earth Rivers and Ironbark route.
