Overview

Trip Code: XBM

Explore the UNESCO World Heritage listed Blue Mountains by e-bike and enjoy the breathtaking views, stunning waterfalls and visit the iconic Three Sisters. On this self guided tour you will set your own pace and take as much time as you need to fully experience the best the Blue Mountains has to offer. Skirting the escarpment along the back roads you will travel between small towns with numerous lookouts, walking trails and your choice of cafe to enjoy a coffee and a snack. We have mapped out a number of routes for you to choose from which allow ample time to explore and enjoy the charming towns in the area. You will stay in Katoomba for 2 nights which will give you plenty of time to enjoy the delights of the town. With an array of cafes, restaurants and an award winning brewery all in walking distance from the hotel you'll be spoiled for choice.


Once in Katoomba and you're checked in, the afternoon is yours to explore the town. Walk down the main street and see the fascinating range of shops. Enjoy the vast array of food and beverage options, such as the Mountain Culture Brewery, wood-fired pizza at Station Bar, or the all day breakfast menu at the Pomegranate Cafe. If you are interested in the history of the local area the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre is a must see. After dusk, we recommend visiting the Katoomba Falls Reserve Night-lit Walk which is a special prelude to tomorrow's cycle trip. Check in is generally from 2pm however you may be able to leave your bags at the hotel earlier or organise with us to store them at our bike hub.

Today you will explore the Upper Mountains. The ride today has you exploring the cliff lines of Katoomba, Leura and Wentworth Falls. This morning you will take a leisurely cycle along the Cliff tops of Katoomba, Leura and Wentworth Falls to experience the stunning views of the Megalong valley, the Jamieson Valley and the Three Sisters. Explore the Fine Woodwork Gallery and the various gift shops on the Main street of Leura before making your way to Wentworth Falls to enjoy a delicious meal and a well deserved rest. There are plenty of places where you can take a short walk to further enjoy the lookouts and views that the Blue Mountains is renowned for.

Meals:  Nil

Today you will start the day by hopping on the train with your bike for a short trip to Blackheath. Here you will visit the sensational lookouts with views stretching across the Megalong Valley and be amazed by the paragliders runway. The views in Blackheath are breathtaking and these lookouts will not disappoint! Blackheath has many options for a long lunch or snacks and coffee. After you’ve had your fill there are two or three more lookouts to experience looking into the Grose Valley and across to the massive cliff lines in the distance.

This self guided trip involves 2 days of cycling over hilly terrain. Daily activity is usually between 3 and 5 hours but some days might be longer depending on your overall pace. Being a self guided trip you determine the pace and schedule. You will need an reasonable level of fitness and good health and be a confident and capable cyclist. Be prepared for potential variable weather conditions which can also add to the timing and comfort of a trip, for example riding into a head wind will take more time than when the wind is behind you. There are sections of road riding and at times there is no verge. You will need to be comfortable and confident cycling on the road. High visibility clothing is essential. If you use a non electric bike, the grading on this trip is moderate.
