About this page

Take up the ultimate challenge of 250km or enjoy a leisurely ride with friends and family to Altona Beach, or choose something in between.

250km Ride Option

The 250km takes you around the bay with a bit extra - this is a real challenge and a must-do ride for those looking to tick off the classic rides to do in Australia. The ride takes you to Queenscliff first via the scenic route to Geelong (through Portarlington), where you will catch a ferry to Sorrento. From Sorrento you will take the Nepean Hwy heading back to Melbourne via Frankston and head along beautiful Beach Road .
