Make your own way to Frankline Street Central Coach Station to commence your Mountain Lofty Descent by Mountain Bike tour. Cycle from the summit of Mount Lofty on mountain bikes all the way down to Adelaide, though stunning native bush, and enjoy a visit to Cleland Wildlife Park along the way. Spot koalas in their native environment, and see kangaroos and emus during the ride. Guests will be picked up in Central Adelaide and transported to the summit of Mount Lofty, which at 710m is the highest point in the Mount Lofty Ranges, and offers stunning views of Adelaide, the Adelaide hills, and the plains below. From here it is downhill all the way back to Adelaide. After a stop for photos, guests will be provided with a good quality mountain bike and helmet, and made sure guests are comfortable and happy with their bikes. From the start, it is a short ride though Cleland Conservation park to our first stop of the day, Cleland Wildlife park. A perfect chance to get comfortable on the bike before the big ride. n Cleland Wildlife Park have a chance to wander at leisure and feed or pat kangaroos, wallabies, emus and many other native wildlife. Guests may even have the chance to pat a koala. Have a little morning tea right here while guests relax in the natural surrounds. Coffee, tea and cakes/snacks are all included. After, leaving the wildlife park, get to enjoy the best part of the whole trip. The ride through Cleland Conservation Park is absolutely stunning. It's all downhill, and has some fun rough sections, along with other nice flat and fast bits! It's also an absolute money back guarantee to see wild koalas as we ride through the park! After about 10km, drop out into the suburbs of Adelaide, and then have a final spin along some quiet backstreets where guests will see some lovely houses and suburban parks. Finally, pop out into the Adelaide parklands at Victoria Park, where guests get a great view back up to the summit of Mount Lofty, were the tour started 4 hours and 18km ago!
