Rylstone and Kandos have a motto, ‘Two Towns, One Community’ and it is certainly evident in the links both towns have, no better expressed than with the seven-kilometre cycleway that joins the two towns. Over four days of cycling, you’ll cover much of what defines this region, including cycling through native bushland, along quiet backroads, through pastoral sheep country, along ridge lines with amazing views to the peaks in the distance, through areas renowned for bird sightings and passing by koala habitat. Follow country roads past swamps and amazing rock formations known as pagodas and spend two nights in the Ganguddy region of the Wollemi National Park, before returning to Kandos. Opportunities to add kayaking and an Indigenous immersion walk, discover museums, art galleries and vineyards and dine on superb international cuisine complement the cycling experience.
