FAQs
Can I bring my caravan?
Yes! The Autumn Great East event is based at the one location to enable those wanting to bring their own caravan to do so. The event registration includes unpowered tent site so you will need to upgrade to the 'Powered BYO Caravan site'
Can I bring my own bike?
Yes! You can bring your own bike, in fact most people do, however we do have a range of bikes for hire if you don't want to BYO. Perhaps your bike isn't suitable or you just don't want the hassle of bringing your own. We also have e-bikes for hire
Can I bring my partner but they don't want to ride?
Yes! For the Autumn event we are allowing a limited number of non riding participants to register. This means they can be involved in the event, their registration covers their meals at HQ, the entertainment, camp site. But they can not be a riding participant at any time and what they do during the riding time is at their own leisure.
What is surface like?
The East Gippsland Rail Trail has had significant improvements in the past 12 months. The first 15km is sealed then you will experience compacted gravel and is generally an enjoyable riding surface. There is about 11km that is yet to be resurfaced and is a little bumpy.
Will their be power available for my e-bike?
Yes there is power available at HQ however if you are upgrading your accommodation there most likely will be a power source available at your accommodation for charging.
