FYXO has been on the gravel tip since forever. We have always loved riding remotely, getting away from it all with friends for using the pleasure devices that are bicycles.
Gravel Camp is a weekend school camp for bigger kids who bike!
Bring your tent if you got one ( or let us pop one up for you) and make the delightful drive to Camp Jungai in Rubicon where we await your arrival. Dinner cooked, breakfast prepared, coffee served, mid ride snacks supplied and a post adventure refuel - all included!
This is your best excuse yet to get out of town for a night camping under the stars and a full blown excursion of the National Park on the 'ADVENTURE RIDE'
The Rubicon Valley is famed for its steep rocky climbs, wonderful views, powerful rivers and country hospitality and it's time you found out for yourself.

'The hardest ride I've ever done'
As much as I love a bike ride, my main motivation to take part in Gravel Camp was that it seemed like a good way to get my toes wet in bikepacking. And by “toes wet” I mean I had my bike and I was camping, but I didn’t have to deal with packing part. #win.
Admittedly the 50km route looked a like a bit of challenge for me. I’d ridden the Great Otway Gravel Grind a month earlier with a similar distance but less elevation. The good news was I had been riding my bike consistently since then so I knew the extra elevation was doable. And I’d lowered my gearing from 34/40T to 34T/46T (front/back) so I could more easily tackle hills steeper than 10% grade.
The camping, the weather, the delicious dinner and brekkie, and the drinking chatting with other cyclists by campfire made for a fun and memorable experience. The ride, well…
The ride was certainly memorable.

The Rubicon Valley is steeped in history as much the grades which surround it.
The gem of the Murrindindi shire is only 2 hours drive from Melbourne and has the feel of the high country, famed riders abundant with fish and a truly remote vibe that's worth the drive.
Put on your favourite podcast and hit the road.
Cast your minds back to John Tomac's drop bar MTB - but fully realised potential with brakes that not only work but don't leave you with cramping hands, integrated shifting, tyres that aren't razor thin and pumped to insane pressures to avoid pinch flats. Exponentially more awesome.
A gravel bike can be whatever you like. MTB with drop bars, a CX machine with the biggest tyres you can fit - or an old touring bike with canti's. The more capable it is - the more bold an adventure you can tackle.
NICE BIKE!
