Bicycle Touring
Come and learn the basic skill of bicycle touring (bike packing).
We offer the opportunity to learn the basics in bike packing, such as which type of bicycle is best suited, type of equipment required and route planning.
The training course will provide you with visual training, onsite instruction and information and guidance from experienced bike packers
The OTC training centre allows you to have hands on one on one training in a safe and friendly environment.
After learning how to bike pack, you will have the opportunity to test out your bike setup on a overnight excursion, by riding a section of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.
All of this done in a quiet country setting in the heart of the Somerset Region.
This course is held on a booking basis for up to 8 persons per course.
