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.
