Port to Port - 'a ride - not a race'

Port to Port 2012 November 10 and 11.
Port to Port is a two day bike ride through scenic national parks, rolling vineyards and along the banks of the mighty Murray River. The event this year will be staged over November 10 and 11.
The two day bicycle ride starts in Mildura and runs through Swan Hill and on to Echuca. Riders get views of Hattah National Park, rolling vineyards, orange groves and the mighty Murray River as they pedal over the 400km course. Cyclists leave the Mildura riverfront bright and early on Saturday morning and head down the Calder Highway. At Hattah, they turn and ride on to Wemen for a break and refreshments. Then it is on to the Murray Valley Highway with the Murray River over their left shoulder. After a food break at Boundary Bend, the riders head for Swan Hill and a well earned overnight break.
Sunday morning the riders are back in the saddle and look forward to about a five or six hour ride to Echuca. Then it's party time! In total we travel 400 kilometers' in two days. For the fittest … it's all the way! For the rest of us … a leisurely relay.
