One of the most amazing rides for anyone, at any level. Starting at the St Albans Wombat Café, we deliver your bikes, give you a brief rundown, and send you off on an adventure.

From the very beginning, you're met with a sense of solitude, even as you pass through the quaint village of St Albans. Climbing away from the village, you enter a world of natural beauty—farms, fields, and valleys that almost compel you to feel at peace.

Your destination—or at the very least, your resting spot—doesn’t take long to reach, as you descend towards the commons and the magnificent Mogo Creek. (Though called a creek, it’s more like a lake when you see it, you’ll know you’re meant to relax here.)

Devoid of homes, buildings, or developments, the commons is a reminder of what’s possible when human intervention is removed. It’s meant to be this way. From here, you can either continue along the road and immerse yourself in the incredible environment, or relax by the water’s edge until the urge to carry on returns. Along the way, you may encounter local cattle, roaming freely and grazing on untouched grass. It’s organic in every sense!

The commons then narrows into a winding road along the river’s edge, where you're surrounded by trees and stillness. Though the temptation to continue will linger, your return should not bring sadness.

As you say goodbye to the commons, remember—the end of the cycle is not the end of your day! Return to the Wombat Café, secure your bikes, and enjoy their amazing cappuccinos and friendly staff. Then, saunter across to the Settlers Inn, where you can immerse yourself in the history of the second-oldest pub in Australia. And if cappuccino isn’t your style, enjoy a great meal and drink under the trees or by the fire.

Once you've made the most of your day, your journey home will be filled with conversation—and the inevitable envy of the locals, along with a promise to return.

Whilst Wisemans is seldom a worry, if the weather turns this can affect the activities.

• We watch the weather very closely. We have zero intention of putting anyone in harms way. So if we feel you may be at any risk whatsoever, we will advise you of our concerns. We also reserve the right to cancel your booking if we believe it is too risky. You can either choose a refund or reschedule.
• You can also change your booking to a Bike ride if the waters are a concern for some reason. Just chat to us and we'll sort everything out.

Whilst we endeavour to cater to everyone, it's not always possible to accomodate every shape, size or need. As our fleet grows, the availability of more options will arise.

• We have a combination of e-bikes and standard pedal bikes. Most are suited to an average size person. As you are not competing, this should suite most people.
• Bikes are maintained so users won't need to worry.
• Our bikes are only intended for general hybrid conditions (NOT for mountain biking!)
• Our Canoes are suitable for beginners to advanced social users and the type of water you'll find yourself on. They are regarded as safe and sturdy. No canoes are enclosed.
• Any protective gear such as helmets and lifejackets meet the required Australian standards.

• The starting point of your adventure is not cast in stone. If you'd like we can look at alternative points within the local area. This will be dependent on distance and accessibility. We don't deliver across Webb's Creek Ferry. If you wish to, you can take the bikes on the ferry as part of your adventure.
• St Albans Road is beautiful but be aware of the additional traffic on this road.
• Routes along Settlers road to Spencer tend to be tougher as a result of increased traffic hence we recommend not opting for this route.
• Winter or Summer? Morning or afternoon? This route simply doesn't favour any. It offers unique elements no matter the season or time of day.
