Cycle Dindi 18
We, in conjunction with The Rotary Club of Alexandra, have just run our third Cycle Dindi event on the GVRT, and 80 plus riders thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This year riders were given a choice of long (109 or 97 Kms) or short (47 or 54Kms) rides, starting either from Yarck, Yea or Trawool, traversing through the shires of Murrindindi and Mitchell Shires. To enhance the experience, riders had to opportunity to enjoy the Yea Market before setting off.
