I recently went on the Flinders Ranges tour and it was excellent. It was very well organized with great food, good accommodation and the bike ride was well supported by Ian and Dave. It was a great way to see the Flinders Ranges which were spectacular. We did 50kms a day which was perfect. Being 60 I was worried that it would be too much for me however with plenty of rest stops it was fine. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to see the Flinders Ranges.

Our group of 5 women, aged 50-61, had an unforgettable 5 days mountain biking the 200kms Flinders Ranges by Bike trail. We were all first time mountain bikers. Ian & Deb, Escapegoats in Chief, were outstanding. They were super organized, friendly & expert guides in the Flinders. Their bikes were expertly maintained & customized to our individual needs. Ian provided an electric mountain bike too, invaluable for fatigue beating & for less fit "seniors"! We stayed 4 nights at The Homestead, Willow Springs Station & the last night at Under the Mount, Melrose. Both wonderful accommodation, roomy & comfy. Transport by minivan was safe & comfortable too. Ian & Deb catered for us & we enjoyed relaxing evening meals with them reviewing highlights of the day & planning the next. Highly recommended. Tips: boost your general & aerobic fitness before the trip to get the most out of the experience; bring your own bike saddle, lean into the thrills!

Wonderful 5 days with EscapeGoat in Flinders Ranges. Our guides were professional and friendly at the same time. They knew how to adapt to each participants skills as well as weather conditions. Would go on trips with them again!

What a brilliant way to explore the Flinders Ranges - by mountain bike. Ian and Andy were very organized and capable... in riding, leading, hosting and catering too.

The riding was wonderful. I usually describe myself as an intermediate bike-rider, but I now know I'm a novice on a mountain bike! I found some of the steeper or rocky parts of the ride pretty tough - but not insurmountable. After saying that, they're not the parts of the trip I remember most. The freedom of touring by bike, spectacular scenery, serenity of the remote location and the track chats with other riders are far more memorable. This doesn't happen by chance; the Escapegoat trip was well planned, professional and safe.

Accommodation was clean and simple in Shearers Quarters on a working station... we had everything we needed and it would was good to get a glimpse of station life.

Thanks Ian - it was a great 5 days.

Ian's tour is the best way to do the Flinders Ranges multi-day ride. He has orchestrated the most effective way to see the highlights - with hindsight I'd not do it any other way!

Just completed Escapegoat's Flinders Ranges MTB trip and can recommend the experience. A clever adaption of the FRBB route gave us a 4 day complete lap of the Ranges and still have comfortable accommodation each night at Willow Springs Station. Guides Ian and Deb combined a relaxed management style with experience to make sure the guests are given good information and different levels of MTB experience and skills are catered for. The stop off at Melrose and the MTB Park on the final day is a great way to finish the trip. This area is more demanding technically and we were given options to ensure all were on trails that suited. Job well done, thank you Escapegoat Adventures :-)
Spectacular outback scenery with like minded people on MTB - a good recipe :-)"

What an amazing mtn bike ride with Ian and Escapegoat Adventures. Totally do-able for most riders wanting a taste of adventure, with moderate fitness and a gypsy spirit. Ian will lead not lecture, guide and give knowledge on an incredible part of our planet. For the experienced enthusiast, you will not be disappointed, there is always another hill to challenge. Thank you so much, Ian & Andy.
