Tour of the Otways
2020 Long Weekends - GRAVEL
MELBOURNE Pick-Up & Return
TOUR I: Sept 4-8, 2020 (FULLY BOOKED)
TOUR 2: Sept 11-18 2020
TOUR 3: Nov 13-17 2020
The Topbike Tour of the Otways will be a long weekend (four days), of riding the gravel roads of the Otway Ranges.
While we will visit the well known towns of Lorne and Wye River along the Great Ocean Road, the emphasis will be on staying off the busy roads, keeping amongst the trees and avoiding as much traffic as possible.
Also noting that the highest point of the Otways is just on 670m (Mt Cowley), so you won’t be spending all day on one climb.
All rides are fully supported, starting and finishing in Forrest. We’ll be aiming to ride different roads on all days, with a minimum of overlap. Initially there will be just 8 places, but we have a possibility for more, if demand increases. Accommodation and all meals – sourced from local providers (with low food k’s) included.
