The Tour of WA is the chance to experience WA like never before

The Tour of WA is a 5 day cycling adventure (organized by the Tour of Margaret River) through scenic south-west WA. This is the Third time that this type of recreational cycling has occurred in WA. It is very similar in style to the annual Great Vic Bike Ride that is held in Victoria (with a new course each year). And even though it is held by the organizers of the Tour of Margaret River race, it is a ride (not a race).

This year sees version 3, continue in the Avon Valley region, 100km east of Perth. You’ll be cycling through the agricultural back roads filled with the yellow flowers of the canola crop, traverse the banks of the Avon River and enter the native forests of the Julimar nature reserves. Based around the historic towns of York, Northam, Toodyay and Beverley which are 100 to 150 km East of Perth. The days may be for riding but the nights are for exploring the towns.

Don’t hesitate in booking a seat on this ride as it is capped at 120 places.

The main event is on Saturday with the Avon Valley Gran Fondo. A tour of the major towns in the region following the banks of the Avon River.

The 5 days of the tour: 531km will be all series of loops into the surrounding countryside of the days base town.
