Great Ocean Rode

We had a call from Margaret in Brisbane who’s coming down for Around the Bay and wanted to know what else she could do while she was in town. We suggested that a fully supported ride from Warrnambool to Williamstown makes a scenic prelude to the ATB…and there’s a special deal for interstate visitors.

Boy and BikeSecondary students participating in an Around the Bay in a Day event will be able to add their race mileage to their Challenge log books.

Instead of competing against rivals, students are asked to test themselves – the only requirement to be successful is to ride 500 kilometres on your bike before 12 December this year.
