Cyclist’s Paradise
The Southern Highlands has been known for generations as a haven for cyclists. Endless route options and a picture-postcard backdrop of lush green rolling hills make riding the Bowral Classic a uniquely special experience.

Bowral and the surrounding towns are simply the ultimate escape. Our loyal riders keep coming back to enjoy all the delights that are on offer, the Bowral Classic is much more than just the ride!”
