High country women’s cycling

Hi, we are Clare and Michelle and we run High Country Women’s Cycling (HCWC) - we are passionate about all things cycling, especially cycling in Victoria’s beautiful High Country! It all began with a small idea… that led to a Festival… and now a number of other unique small-group experiences in North East Vic.

THE HCWCF

The HCWCF is where High Country Women’s Cycling began. The Festival is a celebration of women's cycling aiming to bring women together to ride, eat, drink and party in Victoria's beautiful high country, the premier cycling destination in Victoria.

The concept is a natural extension of 7 Peaks 100 Women's Stories - aiming to share and unify the powerful voice of female cyclists through showcasing 100 authentic female rider stories. The HCWCF aims to inspire, encourage and support more women to ride and to experience the beauty of Victoria's Alpine region by bike.

After a hugely successful sell-out HCWCF in 2018 & another big (let alone chilly!) year in 2019 - we scheduled the Festival for 2020 but sadly had to cancel it (twice) due to COVID-19. This took its toll on our small business and despite all the power and passion of our partners and volunteers we have had to put the Festival on hold for now.

In the meantime, we’re holding some smaller scale events and we’d love to have you along!
