Beechworth - Eldorado Loop

The Beechworth Granite Classic Loop is one of Victoria's signature gravel rides, combining challenging climbs, flowing granite roads and rich gold rush history into an unforgettable High Country adventure. Inspired by sections of the renowned Beechworth Granite Classic event, this route delivers over 50 kilometres of rewarding gravel riding through rolling farmland, native bushland and historic townships. Expect a mix of sustained climbs, fast descents and scenic backroads, including the famous Three Farm Gates section where riders pass through working farmland while enjoying some of the region's best crushed granite roads. Along the way you'll visit the historic gold mining communities of Beechworth and Eldorado, cross the picturesque Reedy Creek and experience the diverse landscapes that have made the region one of Australia's premier gravel riding destinations. For riders wanting to extend the adventure, a worthwhile detour to the spectacular Woolshed Falls adds another iconic High Country highlight to the day.
