From November 09, 2018 3:20 pm until November 10, 2018 5:00 pm

Event: Ride Dinner Plain from Omeo. Two days 42km, grade 3, medium distance, easy terrain.

One way ride/walk, average gradient 2%.
This ride is normally done in one day. Bike campers can take two.
Drive to and from Dinner Plain, bus to Omeo.
Cycle 42km from Omeo's High Plains Bakery to Dinner Plain's Mountain Kitchen.
Mostly walking the bicycle uphill on the first day, easier ride on the second day.

Ride your bicycle or walk from Omeo's High Plains Bakery to Dinner Plain's "Gourmet Kitchen", mostly walking the bicycle approx 19km uphill on the first day, easier ride approximately 23km on the second day. What to pack and preparing is the most difficult, requiring previous bushwalking experience.
The overall gradient over the two days is only 2%, so there are plenty of long downhills.

Bus to Omeo, quick visit to bakery, then straight onto the road to do the steep part.

Second day ride the easy 22km. The friendly staff at Mountain Kitchen will stamp a 7Peaks passport,  

Ideas for what to take can be found on the Ride On magazine.

On this event, the number and choice of participants will be at the leader's discretion, and when chosen, will not appear on the website. 

This is one of the seven choices of mountains to climb over summer in the official 7Peaks Challenge

Any cyclist can participate in the 7Peaks Challenge between mid-October to the end of April.

We are not in the same league as many cyclists who continue over the mountain to do other rides on consecutive days. As a stand-alone event over one or two days, the Omeo to Dinner Plain ride is enjoyable and challenging to beginner bushwalkers and beginner cyclists, it is the most enjoyable of the mountain climbs. The  views of Kosciusko for example and other surprises keep one guessing.

I would assume that average bushwalkers are generally experienced at packing minimally and taking plenty of water.
