Around the Bay 50km

Ride features

We are thrilled to have Bosch e-Bike Systems as our new naming partner for the iconic 50km.

The Bosch eBike Systems 50km Ride is the perfect opportunity to ride over the iconic West Gate Bridge, either on a e-bike, a traditional pedal bike or whatever bicycle you choose, we even have penny farthings join!

This is your chance to take in a 360 view of the city of Melbourne and the surrounding port. You’ll also enjoy closed roads along the St Kilda foreshore as you roll on back to the Albert Park event village via Elwood.

And of course if you have an eBike this is the perfect ride to take it on, plus kids 14 and under ride free!
