900kms Of Pure Australian Outback

The Mawson Trail is an epic bucket-list ride for any cycling enthusiast and Outback Odyssey is your way of enjoying the spectacular 900km adventure with all your needs taken care of by a team with over 20 years’ experience on the trail - so all you need to do is ride.

This epic ride will take you through the Australian Outback, one of the most spectacular places on earth. With 600 million years of secrets waiting to be revealed, it’s home to one of the greatest adventures of your life. It’s not as much a challenge as it is a life-changing experience!

Each day is an adventure. We ride. We eat. We drink. We have a laugh.

Spend 16 days riding the mighty Mawson Trail from Adelaide to Blinman, exploring some of the jewels in South Australia’s tourism crown and mastering the challenge and adventure of the 900km of off-road riding. Enjoy the hospitality, history and culture of Outback towns and ride through the best of the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley and the stunning variety of the vast Flinders Ranges.

Or choose one of three Mini-Mawson sections: Adelaide – Burra (5 days); Burra-Melrose (6 days); Melrose-Blinman (7 days).

This biennial showpiece is always a sell-out for the limited field of 200 guests which ensures a relaxed, intimate and friendly experience for all. Book early to avoid disappointment!
