A really nice day ride out of Seymour - about 8 hours. Great views, bush, rolling farmland, rocky outcrops and creek, plus a few splashes of autumn colour in April/May. There's the possibility of really good coffee and cake (or even late lunch) in Ruffy Fri-Sun but otherwise no services or drinking water available, carry what you need. About 40 km is unsealed road - can be reduced with a few alternatives. Fine on a touring bike (I'd be curious to know where I picked up the dozens of bindiis... probably stuffing around Seymour at the end). The Highlands are a delightful place to cycle; quiet, little traffic and quite beautiful county. Amazing when it's green. Possibly magpie hell in spring. But a real cycling treat.by davnel
