Ride Information

Moonta, in the Copper Coast, situated on Yorke Peninsula and 164km from Adelaide, is the location for our 2012 Easter Cycle, (6 to 9 April).

The discovery of copper in 1860 led to the establishment of the Moonta Mining Co which soon became one of the richest copper mines in Australia. The massive influx of skilled Cornish miners made a huge impact and changed the way of life and culture of this region of South Australia. Today Moonta boasts the Kernewek Lowender, the world's largest Cornish festival, a biennial event celebrating everything that is Cornish.

Our campsite will be at the Moonta Football Club, with a mix of rides, from a few kilometres to 100km heading out each day to various locations throughout the Copper Coast. There will be time to explore the region, steeped in history, quiet bike tracks, Moonta Bay, with its stunning beaches and sandy coves, Port Hughes, Kadina, and, of course, cafes and coffee shops, and time perhaps to watch the sun setting after another great day's riding.

Local caravan park, B&B and hotel/motel accommodation can be booked separately if required.
