Cycle Dindi 25
CycleDindi24 is a joint project by the Rotary Clubs of Alexandra and Yea, together with Friends of the Great Victorian Rail Trail and is a charity bicycle ride along the trail on the last Saturday before the April Victorian school holidays.
It is centred on the lovely townships of Yea and Alexandra and includes those towns plus Merton as starting locations. Riders have a number of distances and options to choose from. This year the prices are again linked to the rider, not the distance. Included in your entry ticket is Billy tea and damper, a barbecue lunch at Cathkin and free admission to Nutfield; a working farm with Devonshire tea in the shearing shed, a sheepdog demonstration and a trailer ride. The ride includes cycling through the historic Cheviot Tunnel.
Monies raised will be used to support Rotary Youth Projects.
