Each year the CTA runs a number of tours. Most of these are short (2
or 3 day) tours organised by individual members (or small groups). They
generally have between 10 and 20 participants.
The major tour for the year is normally the On
Your Bike (OYB) Tour. This takes 9 days and has about 130 participants.

The 2010 On Your Bike Tour will be following Western Australia's beautiful
but rugged southern coast from Bremer Bay to Walpole. The weather
along the southern coast is generally cooler with frequent coastal drizzle
and showers, which is also why this coastline is known as the Rainbow
Coast. We will be within 20 km of the coast for the entire 440 km
of the tour, which is why the dates have been pushed back as late as possible
to try and get some warmer weather while still avoiding the grain cartage
season.
- Day 1 of the tour will start with participants being coached from Armadale down to Wagin for lunch, then continuing down to Bremer Bay with an informal afternoon ride around Bremer Bay after arriving. For participants in the south west, there will be the option of secure parking at Wagin where you can join the others for lunch before getting on the coaches to Bremer Bay.
- Day 2 we will ride 63 km from Bremer Bay to Boxwood Hill, staying at the Boxwood Hill Sporting Complex.
- Day 3 we will ride 90 km from Boxwood Hill to Cheyne Beach, passing through Wellstead and staying at the Cheynes Beach Caravan Park.
- Day 4 we will ride 69 km from Cheyne Beach to Albany, passing through Manypeaks, Kalgan and Lower King.
- Day 5 is a rest day in Albany for people to explore the many attractions, learn about the history of Western Australia's first settlement, or just relax at one of the beaches or cafes.
- Day 6 we will ride 67 km from Albany to Denmark, via the Lower Denmark Road passing through Elleker and Youngs.
- Day 7 we will ride 68 km from Denmark to Peaceful Bay via Scotsdale Road, staying at the Peaceful Bay Caravan Park.
- Day 8 we will ride 55 km from Peaceful Bay to Walpole via the Tree Top Walk and Hazelvale Road. The last night concert will be held in the Walpole Sport and Recreation Centre.
- Day 9 we will ride 25 km from Walpole back to Bow Bridge for morning tea before getting on the bus for the trip back to Perth via Wagin.
