Beaufort - Old Shirley Road Cycle Trail
A 11.5km route from Beaufort along some sealed road but mostly dirt roads with some corrugation and a small section of highway cycling.
Just as you leave town on the main highway, you'll find Old Shirley Road branching off to your left. After a short distance it becomes a dirt road servicing many semi-rural properties, and when you get to the top of the hill there's a fair view of Mt Buangor / Mt Cole and the Grampians.
Turn right into Grampians View Road, which will take you to the Western Highway, where you should turn right back towards Beaufort.
After a short distance on the Highway (take care - lots of big trucks!) you can turn left into Martins Lane, which runs into Back Raglan Road and will deliver you safely back to the town centre.
Note:
Remember that Beaufort is serviced by VLine trains from Ballarat, Melbourne and Ararat, so you can always jump on board with your bike and take the hassle out of driving altogether.
Call in to the Beaufort Visitor Information Centre in the town centre before you set out and see our friendly staff, which can help with maps, weather condition updates and warnings, and details of known road or track closures.
