25.01.2022 The climb to the Gap of Mt Buffalo must be my favourite of all 3 climbs in the High Country! 21km of easy climbing and picturesque views at the top. Come and try yourself this summer, go to www.brightvelo.com.au now to book for summer. @factorbikesaustralia @sram_australia #ridehighcountry

24.01.2022 It’s great to hear some of the stories related to this beautiful old building, it has so much history in the community of Bright. This couple from Bendigo had spent their honeymoon here 59 years ago while it was called the Oriental Guest House. They dropped in today to have a look how it had changed. I told them it probably doesn’t look much different to when you stayed here, but in the next 2 years the building will get a complete makeover. Have you got a story about staying at Bright Velo over the years? #brightvelo #brightandsurrounds

24.01.2022 The renovations are underway at Bright Velo! We want to create facilities that inspire athletes to train hard and relax in Victoria’s High Country.

What gym facilities would you like to see at Bright Velo? @gozwiftausnz #zwift #ridehighcountry #brightvelo @ Bright Velo

24.01.2022 This is Bright’s Cherry Walk, a sensational 10km loop with scenic river views and smooth dirt trails. Easily accessible from the centre of town, this is a great trail with links to extend to 15km and 21km. In 2021 we will be offering running training camps with guided running tours, massages and training tips from experienced coaches. Go to www.brightvelo.com.au now and book for summer, and come for a ride, walk or run in Victoria’s beautiful High Country. #walkhighcountry #cherrywalk #running #brightvelo @ Bright Velo

23.01.2022 Ever wanted to give bike-packing a go? Velo highly recommends the following: Catch the XPT from Southern Cross to Wangaratta and start your adventure experience. You can go for either of the two options: 1. Wangaratta - Beechworth - Bright - 102km 2. Wangaratta - Myrtleford - Bright - 85km... Both options are along the safe, picturesque rail trail finishing directly outside Bright Velo, where we welcome you with open arms. Feast out for dinner and enjoy a refreshing beer/wine at the Bright Brewery, ready for your next day of exploration. XPT tickets start at $42 a person and includes secure bike storage for your valuable cargo. Go to www.brightvelo.com.au and book for summer 2021.

22.01.2022 Mt Buffalo is my personal favourite climb in Victoria’s High Country. When taking on Buffalo, there are three options The Gap - 33km The Chalet - 35km The Horn - 44km Which one is your favourite? #ridehighcountry #seehighcountry #brightvelo #theclimbingcyclist #alpineshire

21.01.2022 When visiting Victoria’s High Country ensure you drop in to beautiful Porepunkah. Only a 7km ride or walk from Bright Velo, it’s a great place for a day visit. @railtrailcafeau is a popular spot for breakfast and coffee. A cold beer at the @punka_pub is a must and why not take the kids to the playground at the river foreshore, they’ll love it. There’s something for everyone. Go to www.brightvelo.com.au and book for summer 2021. #ridehighcountry #brightvelo #walkhighcountry #northeast

21.01.2022 Have you been to Wandiligong? Wandi is a great place to ride or walk to. The perfect place for a day trip with the family or a romantic afternoon on the river. Located only 7kms from Bright, ensure you visit next time you're in the High Country. #brightvelo #ridehighcountry #walkhighcountry

20.01.2022 There are a few hidden gems local to Bright, this personal fave for the fam is a secret park on the river in Wandiligong. Easily accessible from the rail trail its a quiet retreat away from the crowds. #brightvelo #brightandsurrounds

20.01.2022 Bright is great for a weekend getaway, renowned for its local wineries and breweries, it’s also very family friendly.

12.01.2022 We all know summer holidays can get a little summer holi-crazy when it comes to popular spots like Bright splash park. Don’t let it deter you though, why not check out Porepunkah for awesome play equipment and a cool down with the kids? 5km out from Bright, just over the Mt Buffalo roundabout, beat the crowds for a quick dip in the river and a parmi and a beer at @punka_pub .
