Barossa Pipeline Run GPX

Ride from the Adelaide Hills to the Barossa on a 212 km Gravel Hound adventure route combining backroads, changing countryside and some fantastic South Australian riding.

The Barossa Pipeline Run heads north through the Adelaide Hills towards Angaston before taking a different route back south, creating a proper day ride rather than a simple there-and-back.

The destination adds considerably to the appeal. Angaston combines historic streets, cafés, food producers and classic Barossa scenery; SA Tourism describes the town as being surrounded by some of the region's wineries and home to cafés, restaurants, the Barossa Valley Cheese Company and the Saturday Barossa Farmers Market.

What riders receive: the complete 212 km GPX route, ready to import into a compatible motorcycle GPS or GPX navigation app.

As with all Gravel Hound routes, this is a real route we've ridden and explored, not something generated on a computer.

Suggested Angaston stop

For this one, I think a straightforward bakery/café stop suits the Gravel Hound audience better than an expensive Barossa restaurant.

My first choice would be D&M’s Bakery Cafe. at 36 Murray Street. It's currently listed as open seven days, has a broad opening window, is inexpensive, and sits right in Angaston. That makes it a practical group motorcycle stop rather than somewhere requiring the ride to revolve around lunch.

Another good café alternative is Hive Barossa, while riders wanting something more substantial have plenty of options in town. Angaston's main street and heritage character are actually worth making part of the route experience rather than treating Angaston simply as the turnaround point.
