16.6km, One Way, Hilly, Easy, Rail Trail, 2 hours.

Roll downhill from Beechworth to the main trail. Alternatively take the Beechworth Spur line up the hill to Beechworth. Watch your navigation as the turn to Beechworth is easy to miss. The Beechworth spur line takes in forests and farmland, travels over the impressive bridges with their curved ramparts, and is home to echidnas wallabies and wombats. Uphill is a little challenging, while downhill is a breeze. Link to the main trail to cycle Wangaratta or Bright, whichever takes your fancy!
