RETURNING TO THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD
An unforgettable riding holiday
Join us from 24-28 November 2025 for five unforgettable days of riding, camping, and connection as we return to the breathtaking Great Ocean Road. With fewer campsite moves, more time to soak up local charm, and flexible loop ride options, it’s the Great Vic you know and love reimagined for a new era of adventure.
What’s new in 2025?
🚴 Five-day adventure: A more accessible format that allows more people to take part.
🏕 Less moving, more exploring: We’ll spend two nights at each campsite, giving you time to enjoy local communities and fully immerse yourself in the experience.
🌿 More flexibility: Loop rides mean you can choose your challenge. Go the distance or enjoy a more relaxed ride with on-site activities.
🎉 Even better entertainment & camp life: More time at camp means more fun, more connections, and more time to settle in making the most of the community rather than worrying about having to pack up just after you arrive. Removing the daily transitions allows for a more immersive and relaxed experience

“It’s like going on holiday with a big group of your best mates.”
Beginning in 1984, Victoria’s favourite annual regional ride is a rite of passage for people who ride bikes and has established a proud reputation for being much more than a cycling event. The Great Vic is a rolling bike festival that pedals to a new town each day, setting up camp where riders can soak up an evening of entertainment.
For seasoned campaigners, it’s an annual catch up with 3,000 friends. For others, it’s the first time they’ve ridden more than a few kilometres at once – let alone nine days in a row. But for everyone, it’s a great escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life in and around tranquil and inviting regional towns, and this year promises to be no different.
