Ky-Tat Merrigoround

  • Distance: 66 km loop
  • Description: An easy ride through flat open farming country. A good option for beginners as it has well placed amenities and the distance can easily be shortened by cutting across the narrow loop.
  • Amenities: Kyabram, Merrigum, Tatura.
  • Accommodation: Kyabram, Tatura.
  • Ride surfaces: About 60% gravel or path, and 40% quiet sealed roads. Although the sealed roads get a bit busier coming into towns.
  • Terrain: Varies between flat and pancake. Most of the uphill is going over bridges 😂😂.
  • Suggested Ride: There is a town at either end – both with good food and accommodation options, so it doesn’t make much difference where you start. The southern leg is longer, so suggest you do that first. The northern leg has an additional amenities stop at Merrigum.
  • Highlights: Quiet easy riding with good amenties. Fauna Park at Kyabram is worth a visit. The northen leg of this route zig-zags on backroads along side the unused railway line – which is a much faster and cheaper option for a community compared to lobbying for rail trail support, approval and funding.
