Guided Tours At Starglen Lodge
 
Hammer & Thong Dirt Bike Tours have been operating since 2005 and have hosted many exciting rides in that time. The tag along tours have varied from weekends away to one day trips and have all proven to be very successful and popular, with many new riders coming back for more.

Hammer & Thong will cater for all your trail riding needs. With one hundred combined years of riding experience and twenty five combined years of racing experience, they can provide you with tours of many great trail riding destinations in Victoria. These tours include local guides to help you along the way, backup support, lunches, fuel, trail snacks, pub accommodation, riding tips, helmet cam footage and much more. All you need to do is bring your bike & other check list items and they'll do the rest so you can enjoy a great day or weekend of riding.

Starglen Lodge is the ideal base camp for any size bike tour.
