TOP 3 PLACES TO TAKE YOUR TRIKE IN VICTORIA
We’re so excited lockdowns are easing up! We’re sure you are too, which is why we’ve put together this list of trike destinations, perfect for catching up on lost time.
We have compiled the best three trike tracks for you to take your Ryker or Syder for a spin. Whether you’re looking for a laidback drive, or a road full of bends and twists, we’ve got you covered!
GREAT OCEAN ROAD
First up we have the Great Ocean Road touring route. It’s a long road of 664 kilometers, for a total ride of 9 and a half hours, so save this trip for your next three day weekend! You can start your route at Torquay, which is just under an hour and a half drives away from our dealership, and finish off at Port Fairy, a charming coastal town known as the historic fishing village of Melbourne. Perfect for those looking to take it easy, this route is a calm drive with lush scenery as well as amazing wildlife to look out for. There are so many great lookout spots along the way, however, the 12 Apostles is a must for one of the most stunning views of Melbourne's coastline.
THE GREAT ALPINE ROAD
Thirsty for a ride with twists and turns? The Great Alpine Road is just for you. You’ll need to head quite far up North-East from our dealership, but trust us, it will be worth it! Start your journey in Wangaratta and wind your way along 339 kilometers of mountain ranges, luscious valleys and flourishing forests. The 5-hour adventure will have you experiencing all of the stunning landscape that Melbourne has to offer. You’ll finish the track at the unforgettable Gippsland Lakes for a view of the crystal blue lakes, marshes and lagoons. Feeling hungry? We recommend the friendly folk at the “Happy Valley Hotel” for a hearty meal with an old-style pub atmosphere.

BLACK SPUR DRIVE
Last but not least, we have a shorter drive, perfect for letting out a little steam. Black Spur Drive starts at Healesville, which is only an hour away from our dealership. The ride is 30 minutes long, making it perfect for a short escape to experience nature's beauty. This track is famous for trees that tower over the road, creating an archway for you to view the picturesque valley landscape. You’ll want to have a LinQ Thermal Box with you as this stunning track finishes off at Fernshaw picnic area. Pack a picnic to enjoy while relaxing among the luscious greenery.
